EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) Update, 30 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) Chapter 117 Rule Revision Noninterference Demonstration, and Attainment Demonstration Contingency Plan State Implementation Plan (SIP) Revision (DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision) proposes changes to the State ofTexas Air Quality Implementation Plan for the Control ofOzone Air Pollution. This SIP revision proposes to integrate several actions applicable to the DFW 1997 eight-hour ozone standard nonattainment area (Dallas, Denton, Tarrant, Collin, Parker, Johnson, Ellis, Kaufman, and Rockwall Counties) into the DFW 1997 eight-hour ozone attainment demonstration and the Texas SIP upon adoption by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). This DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision proposes several revisions to the DFW 1997 eight-hour ozone attainment demonstration. As required by the 1990 Federal Clean Air Act (FCAA) Amendments under§§ 172(c)(l), l82(b)(2) and I82(t), an updated RACT determination for the DFW area that documents the state's RACT analysis of I l control technique guidelines (CTG) documents issued between 2006 and 2008 by the EPA is proposed. In addition to the RACT update, this SIP revision proposes to incorporate the associated 30 TAC Chapter I I

### 5 and 30 TAC Chapter 117 rule revision proposals into the Texas SIP. The Chapter IIS rulemaking proposed concurrently with this SIP revision would revise rules governing offset lithographic printing emission sources. That rulemaking resulted from the state's RACT determination regarding offset lithographic printing sources upon its analysis of the CTG document for that emission source category. The Chapter II7 rulemaking proposed August I3, 2009, addresses a petition filed by theElk Corporation ofTexas and approved by the commission in February 2009. That rulemaking proposes to expand a specific and limited exemption from Chapter 117 stationary source rules. Finally, this DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision proposes modifications to the DFW attainment demonstration contingency plan. This revision proposes removal and replacement ofa Chapter 115 rule contingency measure because the rule is being revised for RACT purposes. This DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision demonstrates that the Chapter I 17 rule revision will not interfere with the DFW 1997 eight-hour ozone attainment demonstration. Nitrogen oxides (NOx) emission reductions are identified to replace reductions that would no longer be available for the area's ozone control strategy upon adoption ofthe Chapter I I 7 rule rev1s1on. Replacement reductions from fleet turnover (occurring 2009 through 2010) are allocated for use in the attainment demonstration to replace the NOx reduction that would not materialize ifthe exemption is expanded as proposed in the Chapter 1 I 7 rulemaking. Because replacing the NOx reduction in the control strategy will maintain the integrity ofthe attainment demonstration, the adoption ofthe Chapter 117 rule revision will not interfere with the DFW 1997 eight-hour ozone attainment demonstration. As required by the FCAA, the measures identified in the proposed contingency plan will continue to meet the three percent emissions reduction requirement from the 1999 adjusted base year emissions inventory used to develop the May 2007 DFW AD SIP Revision. This revision removes the offset lithographic printing rule contingency measure, because the RACT update analysis revealed the need for a proposed rule revision applicable to those sources. This revision proposes a reallocation to the contingency plan ofreductions predicted to result from the 2009 through 20IO mobile source fleet turnover. The proposed contingency plan contains an increased portion ofthe fleet turnover reductions to make up the difference for reductions lost to the area's contingency plan upon removal ofthe offset lithographic printing contingency measure. The

Proposed September23, 2009DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision

removal ofthe offset lithographic printing rule contingency measure would not adversely affect the DFW area's demonstration of attainment, since replacement reductions are identified. In addition to the fleet turnover, two previously identified contingency measures 

### will remain in the plan. Those two measures are the state VOC rules, applicable in Collin, Dallas, Denton, and Tarrant Counties, to the degassing or cleaning processes of stationary, marine, and transport vessels, and to petroleum-based dry cleaning businesses.

SECTION V: LEGAL AUTHORITY
A. General The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has the legal authority to implement, maintain, and enforce the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) and to control the quality ofthe state's air, including maintaining adequate visibility. The first air pollution control act, known as the Clean AirAct ofTexas, was passed by the Texas Legislature in 1965. In 1967, the Clean Air Act of Texas was superseded by a more comprehensive statute, the Texas Clean Air Act (TCAA), found in Article 4477-5, Vernon's Texas Civil Statutes. The legislature amended the TCAA in 1969, 1971, 1973, 1979, 1985, 1987, 1989, 1991, 1993, 1995, 1997, 1999,2001,2003,2005,2007, and 2009. In 1989, the TCAA was codified as Chapter 382 ofthe Texas Health & Safety Code. Originally, the TCAA stated that the Texas Air Control Board (TACB) is the state air pollution control agency and is principal authority in the state on matters relating to the quality of air resources. In 1991, the legislature abolished the TACB effective September I, 1993, and its powers, duties, responsibilities, and functions were transferred to the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC). With the creation ofthe TNRCC, the authority over air quality is found in both the Texas Water Code and the TCAA. Specifically, the authority ofthe TNRCC is found in Chapters 

### 5 and 7. Chapter 5, Subchapters A - F, H - J, and L, include the general provisions, organization, and general powers and duties of the TNRCC, and the responsibilities and authority ofthe executive director. This chapter also authorizes the TNRCC to implement action when emergency conditions arise, and to conduct hearings. Chapter 7 gives the TNRCC enforcement authority. In 2001, the 77th Texas Legislature continued the existence of the TNRCC until September 1, 2013, and changed the name of the TNRCC to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). In 2009, the 81 sr Texas Legislature, during a special session, amended section 5.014 ofthe Texas Water Code, changing the expiration date of the TCEQ to September 1, 201 I, unless continued in existence by the Texas SunsetAct. The TCAA specifically authorizes the TCEQ to establish the level ofquality to be maintained in the state's air and to control the quality ofthe state's air by preparing and developing a general, comprehensive plan. The TCAA, Subchapters A - D, also authorize the TCEQ to collect information to enable the commission to develop an inventory ofemissions; to conduct research and investigations; to enter property and examine records; to prescribe monitoring requirements; to institute enforcement proceedings; to enter into contracts and execute instruments; to formulate rules; to issue orders taking into consideration factors bearing upon health, welfare, social and economic factors, and practicability and reasonableness; to conduct hearings; to establish air quality control regions; to encourage cooperation with citizens' groups and other agencies and political subdivisions ofthe state as well as with industries and the federal government; and to establish and operate a system ofpermits for construction or modification offacilities. Local government authority is found in Subchapter E ofthe TCAA. Local governments have the same power as the TCEQ to enter property and make inspections. They also may make recommendations to the commission concerning any action of the TCEQ that affects their territorialjurisdiction, may bring enforcement actions, and may execute cooperative agreements with the TCEQ or other local governments. In addition, a city or town may enact and enforce ordinances for the control and abatement ofair pollution not inconsistent with the provisions of the TCAA and the rules ororders ofthe commission.

Proposed September23, 2009 iiiDFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision Subchapters G and H of the TCAA authorize the TCEQ to establish vehicle inspection and maintenance programs in certain areas of the state, consistent with the requirements of the Federal Clean Air Act; coordinate with federal, state, and local transportation planning agencies to develop and implement transportation programs and measures necessary to attain and maintain the NAAQS; establish gasoline volatility and low emission diesel standards; and fund and authorize participating counties to implement vehicle repair assistance, retrofit, and accelerated vehicle retirement programs.

### CHAPTER1. BACKGROUNDANDINTRODUCTION
1.1. GENERAL (Revision) The "History ofthe Texas State Implementation Plan (SIP)," a comprehensive overview of SIP revisions submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) by the State of Texas is viewable on the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality's (TCEQ) Web Site, at; http://www.tceq.state.tx.us/assets/public/implt;imentation/air/sip/miscdocs/SIPHistory updated.pdf The Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) Ozone Nonattainment Area Attainment Demonstration (AD) SIP Revision for the 1997 Eight-Hour Ozone Standard, also called the DFW 1997 Eight,.Hour Ozone AD SIP Revision or May 2007 DFW AD SIP Revision, was adopted by the TCEQ in May 2007 and subsequently submitted to the EPA. The DFW nonattainment counties include Dallas, Denton, Tarrant, Collin, Parker, Johnson, Ellis, Kaufman, and Rockwall. During the EPA's review of that SIP submittal, a March 7, 2008, letter from the EPA to the TCEQ requested clarification and additional information applicable to the DFW 1997 Eight-Hour Ozone AD SIP Revision. A TCEQ letterto the EPA ofApril 23. 2008, (referred to as the April 2008 Supplement tothe DFW 1997 Eight-Hour Ozone AD SIPRevision) provided additional information to clarify and supportthe DFW 1997 Eight-Hour Ozone AD SIPRevision to the EPA. Upon review of the April 2008 Supplement to the DFW 1997 Eight-Hour Ozone AD SIP Revision, the EPA requestedthatthe TCEQ implement an enforceable mechanism to limit the use of Discrete Emission Reduction Credits (DERCs) in the nine-county DFW eight-hour ozone nonattainment area, consistent with attainment and maintenance of the 1997 eight-hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). The EPA asked the state to revise the DFW 1997 Eight-Hour Ozone AD SIP Revision toprovide additional emissions reductions sufficientto meet contingency plan mandates ofthe Federal Clean Air Act (FCAA), and to implement a rule limiting DERC use in the DFW area. In June 2008, the TCEQ informed the EPA ofits intention to propose a revised contingency plan as well as DERC SIP and rule revisions to satisfy the EPA requests. In July 2008, the EPA proposed a conditional approval ofthe DFW 1997 Eight-Hour Ozone AD SIP Revision. The DFW AD SIP Contingency Plan Revision, adopted by the commission and submitted to the EPA in November 2008, revised the attainment demonstration contingency plan. That revised plan identified four measures to provide reductions in the event the DFW area fails to meet its June IS, 2010, deadline for attainment ofthe 1997 eight-hour ozone standard. Three previously identified volatile organic compounds (VOC) rule contingency measures (applicable to offset lithographic printing, petroleum-based dry cleaning, and degassing orcleaning processes ofstationary, marine, and transport vessels) and the 2009 through 20I0 fleet turnover completed the DFW attainment demonstration contingency plan. Effective February 13, 2009, the EPA published a final conditional approval of the DFW nonattainment area's 1997 eight-hour ozone attainment demonstration, as submitted in the May 2007 DFW AD SIP Revision and April 2008 Supplement, and as revised in the DFW AD SIP Contingency Plan Revision. Both the contingency plan and the VOC reasonably available control technology (RACT) analysis elements of the attainment demonstration were deemed adequate, and both were given final approval by the EPA. Final full approval of the attainment demonstration was withheld, pending the EPA's approval ofthe SIP and rule revisions to provide the enforceable mechanism to limit DERC use in the DFW area consistent with the 1997 eighthour ozone attainment demonstration.

Proposed September23, 2009 1-1DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision

The commission adopted the DFW AD SIP DERC Program Revision and submitted it to the EPA in December 2008. That SIP revision and the corresponding DERC rule revision together addressed the EPA condition for final approval ofthe attainment demonstration, limiting DERC use in 2009 and subsequent calendaryears consistent with the area's attainment ofthe 1997 eighthour ozone standard. Accordingly, the DFW AD SIP DERC Program Revision incorporated the adopted revised DERC rule in 30 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) Chapter 101, and implemented a required annual review by the TCEQ executive director. The annual review of banked credits and requests to use DERCs will be evaluated in light of the attainment demonstration to determine annual DERC use limitations and subsequently apportion DERC allowables for use within the nine-county DFW area. The DFW AD SIP DERC Program Revision and the DERC rule revision are both currently under review by the EPA. This DFW RACT Update, 30 TAC Chapter 117 Rule Revision Noninterference Demonstration, and Attainment Demonstration Contingency Plan SIP Revision (DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision) proposes revisions to the DFW 1997 eight-hour ozone attainment demonstration, and as a result, the Texas Air Quality Implementation Plan for the Control of Ozone Air Pollution. Also called the DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision, this revision proposes several actions. First, it updates the EPA-approved VOC RACT analysis determination element ofthe attainment demonstration to include the state's analysis of control technique guidelines (CTG) documents issued by the EPA in 2006, 2007, and 2008. Those CTGs were not addressed in the May 2007 DFW AD SIP Revision; however, the Federal Clean Air Act (FCAA) requires states to address these. Documentation ofa DFW VOC RACT update analysis and the TCEQ determinations regarding the CTG recommendations is provided in Chapter 4, Required ControlStrategy Elements, ofthis SIP revision and in Appendix A: Dallas-Fort Worth ReasonablyAvailable Control TechnologyAnalysis Update. In addition to the RACT update, the DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision proposes inclusion of associated 30 TAC Chapter 115 and 30 TAC Chapter 117 rule revisions into the Texas SIP. The Chapter 115 rulemaking proposal is based on the RACT analysis update contained in this SIP revision. In its review, staffdetermined that some ofthe recommendations made in the EPA's Offset Lithographic and Letterpress Printing CTG represent RACT for the DFW area. Concurrent with this SIP revision, the TCEQ is proposing the Chapter 115 rulemaking (TCEQ Rule Project 2008-019-115-EN) to limit the VOC content ofsolvents used by offset lithographic printing facilities in the DFW area. The rulemaking proposes to implement the EPA's recommendation to reduce fountain solution and cleaning material VOC contents, and further expands applicability to smaller sources not already subject to the rule. Discussion concerning RACT determinations regarding heatset press and letterpress printing sources is provided in Chapter 4, Required ControlStrategy Elements, ofthis SIP revision and in Appendix A: Dallas-Fort Worth ReasonablyAvailable Control TechnologyAnalysis Update. In addition to the VOC RACT update and Chapter 115 rulemaking, this proposed DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision proposes inclusion of an associated Chapter 117 rule revision, proposed by the commission on August 12, 2009, into the Texas SIP. The Chapter 117 rule proposal responds to a petition for rulemaking filed by the Elk Corporation of Texas and approved by the commission on January 28, 2009. The rulemaking proposes to exempt, from Chapter 117 rules, low temperature drying and curing ovens used in mineral wool-type fiberglass manufacturing and wet-laid, non-woven fiber mat manufacturing where nitrogen-containing resins orother additives are used. The proposed expansion of a Chapter 117 rule exemption could reduce the predicted nitrogen oxides (NOx) reductions from Chapter 117 rules for the DFW area by up to 0.1 tons per day
Proposed September 23, 2009 1-2DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision (tpd). This SIP revision proposes that 0.1 tpd NOx portion of uncommitted surplus emission reductions from the 2009 through 20I0 vehicle fleet turnover be used as the replacement reduction. The reduction replacement serves to maintain integrity ofthe DFW 1997 eight-hour ozone attainment demonstration, providing the required demonstration of noninterference proposed in this SIP revision. As a final action, this DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision proposes a modified contingency plan for the area's 1997 eight-hour ozone attainment demonstration. Removal ofthe offset lithographic printing rule contingency measure from the contingency plan is proposed because a revision ofthat Chapter I15 rule for RACT purposes is also being proposed. This SIP revision proposes to replace the measure with a portion ofthe emission reductions predicted from vehicle fleet turnover for the one-year period beginning June 15, 2009. The fleet turnover contingency measure would provide VOC reductions sufficient to replace reductions removed from the contingency plan along with the offset lithographic printing measure. The proposed contingency plan retains two state VOC rule contingency measures previously identified for the DFW area applicable to petroleum-based dry cleaning, and degassing or cleaning processes of stationary, marine, and transport vessels. Additional information about these measures and the proposed contingency plan is contained in Chapter4, Required Control Strategy Elements, ofthis SIP revision. As proposed in this SIP revision, emission reductions to result from the two remaining state VOC rule contingency measures together with the allotment for contingency of emission reductions from the 2009 through 20I0 fleet turnover will provide a total three percent emissions reduction to the DFW attainment demonstration's 1999 adjusted base year emissions inventory. The 0.1 tpd NOx reduction replacement in the control strategy will not interfere with the DFW area's attainment demonstration. The 2009 through 2010 vehicle fleet turnover will provide sufficient reductions to offset the possible 0.1 tpd NOx emission increase from Chapter I I 7 rule exemption expansion. The reductions from fleet turnover will also provide the emission reductions needed to replace the offset lithographic printing rule contingency measure. After the reduction replacements are complete, 7.42 tpd NOx emission reductions from the 2009 through 2010 vehicle fleet turnover will remain surplus and available for other future SIP purposes. The proposed allocation of the fleet turnover reductions is provided in Table 4.3: Allocation of Emission Reductions from the 2009 through 2010 Fleet Turnover, and further described in Chapter4, Required Control Strategy Elements, ofthis SIP revision. Commission adoption ofthis DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision would further supplement the DFW I997 eight-hour ozone attainment demonstration by incorporating the VOC RACT update, the associated Chapter 115 and Chapter I I 7 rule revisions, and the contingency plan. Additional information about each ofthe actions proposed in this DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision is contained in Chapter4, Required Control Strategy Elements, ofthis document. There are no outstanding SIP requirements for the DFW area under the one-hour ozone NAAQS. A final rule published in the Federal Register by the EPA on October 16, 2008, (73 FR 6I357) describes the EPA determination that, effective November I7, 2008, the DFW one-hour ozone nonattainment area (consisting ofDallas, Denton, Collin, and Tarrant Counties) has attained the one-hour ozone standard. This determination was based on the EPA's review ofcertified ambient airmonitoring data showing attainment ofthe one-hourozone NAAQS for the 2004 through 2006 period. The one-hour ozone standard attainment determination was further supported by EPA's review of quality-controlled, quality-assured ozone data for 2007 and 2008. Due to the area's one-hour ozone standard attainment, the EPA determined that all requirements to submit any

4.2. NITROGEN OXIDES (NOx) AND VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS (VOC) CONTROLMEASURES
4.2.1. VOC ControlMeasures (Revision)
4.2.1.1. Background (Addition) Under 42 United States Code (USC), § 7511(b), the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is required to issue Control Techniques Guidelines (CTG) to assist states in developing RACT for major sources ofvolatile organic compounds (VOC) emissions. States can adopt and implement the CTG recommendations, orthey can adopt alternative approaches, but in either event, a RACT demonstration and any rule revisions must be submitted to the EPA for review and approval as part ofthe State Implementation Plan (SIP). The Federal Clean Air Act (FCAA) provides that states with ozone nonattainment areas classified as moderate and above must revise their ozone SIPs to include requirements for RACT for VOC sources covered by any EPA CTG document issued after November 15, 1990, and prior to the date ofattainment. The Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) 1997 eight-hour ozone nonattainment area's attainment date is June 15, 2010. The nine county area includes Dallas, Denton, Tarrant, Collin, Parker, Johnson, Ellis, Kaufman, and Rockwall Counties. The EPA provided final approval of the volatile organic compounds (VOC) Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) analysis element ofthe DFW attainment demonstration in the conditional approval for the DFW 1997 Eight-Hour Ozone AD SIP Revision (74 FR 1903; January 14, 2009). During and shortly after development ofthat SIP revision, the EPA issued II new CTG documents. Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) staffhas evaluated the new CTG documents to make RACT determinations for the State ofTexas and to determine if additional VOC controls are necessary to fulfill RACT requirements. Section 4.6, Contingency Measures, ofthis SIP revision further describes the RACT update analysis proposed in this SIP revision, and Appendix A: DFWReasonably Available Control Technology Analysis Update provides additional details regarding evaluation ofthe II CTG recommendation documents. The TCEQ has determined that some emission control recommendations in the Offset Lithographic and Letterpress Printing CTG document (71 FR 58745, October 5, 2006) represent RACT for the DFW area. In offset lithographic printing, VOC emissions result from the evaporation of components of the ink, fountain solutions, and cleaning solutions. Fountain solutions can account for up to 25 percent ofthe total VOC emissions from offset lithographic printing operations. Cleaning solutions containing organic solvents, used to remove excess printing ink oils or unwanted debris from the offset lithographic printing, also contribute to VOC emissions.
4.2.1.2. Proposed 30 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) Chapter 115 VOC Rule Revision (TCEQ Rule project 2008-019-115-EN) (Addition) Concurrent with this SIP revision, the TCEQ is proposing a Chapter 115 rule revision to implement new RACT requirements for offset lithographic printing sources in the DFW area, as required by the Federal Clean Air Act (FCAA), § 172(c)(l) and § 182(b)(2). The proposed

Proposed September 23, 2009 4-1DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision rulemak.ing implements the 2006 CTG recommendations to limit the VOC content of solvents used by offset lithographic printing facilities in the DFW nine-county 1997 eight-hour ozone nonattainment area. The proposed rulemak.ing is scheduled for the commission's consideration for adoption at the March I0, 20I0, TCEQ agenda. The proposed rule revision would amend Chapter 115, Subchapter E, Division 4, to reduce VOC content limits of fountain solutions used by offset lithographic printing operations currently subject to these rules. The proposed rules would also limit the VOC content of fountain and cleaning solutions used in offset lithographic printing operations that are exempt under current rules. Existing Chapter 115 rules limit the VOC content offountain and cleaning solutions used by offset lithographic printing lines in the DFW area with combined uncontrolled VOC emissions of at least 50 tpy. The proposed rules would expand requirements in the DFW area beginning March I, 20II, to limit the VOC content of fountain and cleaning solutions used by offset lithographic printing lines located on a property with combined uncontrolled VOC emissions ofat least three tpy. Because the commission is proposing a revised Chapter I I 5 to include RACT requirements for offset lithographic printing sources, the state VOC rule for those sources will no longer be available for use as a measure in the DFW attainment demonstration contingency plan. In order to maintain integrity of the DFW 1997 eight-hour ozone attainment demonstration, this DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision proposes to modify the contingency plan, to remove and replace the state VOC rule offset lithographic contingency measure as more specifically described in Section 4.6, ContingencyMeasures, ofthis SIP revision. Additional information on the proposed rulemak.ing is contained in the preamble for TCEQ Rule project 2008-0 19-115-EN. Additional information on the RACT analysis of the Offset Lithographic and Letterpress Printing CTG can be found in Appendix A: DFW Reasonably Available Control TechnologyAnalysis Update. 

### 4.2.2. NOx ControlMeasures 4.2.2.1. Major Source NOxReductions
4.2.2.1.1. Industrial, Commercial, andInstitutional (IC/) Sources (Revision) 4.2.2.1.1.1. Background (Addition) Concurrent with adoption ofthe May 2007 DFW AD SIP Revision, the commission adopted a revised 30 TAC Chapter 117, Subchapter B, Division 4 rule for major emission sources on May 23, 2007. The rule established new emission control requirements, beginning in March I, 2009, and March I, 20I0, for major industrial, commercial, or institutional (ICI) sources ofNOx in the DFW 1997 eight-hour ozone nonattainment area Subchapter B, Division 4, requires owners or operators ofmajor ICI sources ofNOx in the DFW I997 eight-hour ozone nonattainment area to reduce NOx emissions from a wide variety ofstationary sources, providing emissions reductions to help bringthe DFW ozone nonattainment area into compliance with the I997 eight-hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). On December II, 2008, a petition for rulemak.ing requesting an amendment to Chapter 1 I7, Subchapter B, Division 4, for certain DFW area sources, was filed with the commission. The petition (TCEQ Rule Project No. 2009-012-PET-NR), submitted by Brown McCarroll, L.L.P., on behalf ofElk Corporation of Texas, requested that the agency initiate rulemak.ing to revise 30
Proposed September23, 2009 4-2DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision

TAC Chapter 117, Subchapter B, § 117.403(a)(l2). The request related to owners and operators oflow-temperature drying and curing ovens used in mineral wool-type fiberglass manufacturing and wet-laid, non-woven fiber mat manufacturing located at major sources in the DFW 1997 eight-hour ozone nonattainment area. Source categories affected by the petitioners request are currently required to comply with Chapter 117 rule requirements by March I, 2010. Elk Corporation ofTexas operates an asphalt shingle manufacturing plant in Ennis, Texas. In the petitioner's manufacturing process, a urea-formaldehyde resin binder is used with other nitrogencontaining compounds on a fiberglass substrate that is then passed through a drying and curing oven. This operation results in nitrogen-containing off-gasthat is vented through incinerators and reacts with oxygen to form NOx. The petitioner asserts that emissions associated with the manufacturing process alone makes compliance with the applicable NOx emission specification in § 117.41O(b) of 0.036 pounds per million British thermal unit (lb/MMBtu) infeasible. On January 28, 2009, the commission considered and approved the petition for rulemaking. The commission issued an orderon February 2, 2009, directing the executive director to examine the issues in the petition and to initiate rulemaking. 4.2.2.1.1.2. Proposed 30 TAC Chapter I I 7 Rule revision (TCEQ Rule Project 2009-023-117- EN) (Addition) On August 12, 2009, the TCEQ proposed an amendment to § 117.403 to implement the rule changes requested by Elk Corporation ofTexas. The proposed rulemaking would amend Chapter I I7, Subchapter B, Division 4, § 117.403 for the DFW eight-hour ozone nonattainment area. It would expand the exemption in § 117.403(a)(l2) to include low-temperature drying ovens and curing ovens used in wet-laid, non-woven fiber mat manufacturing as well as in low-temperature drying ovens used in mineral wool-type fiberglass manufacturing where nitrogen-containing resins orother additives are used. The current§ ll7.403(a)(l2) only exempts curing ovens used in mineral wool-type fiberglass manufacturing in which nitrogen-bound chemical additives are used. If adopted, the Chapter 117 rule revision would become effective on February 4, 2010. This DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision proposes to incorporate a revised § 117.403 into the SIP

.. In 2006, during Chapter 117 rulemaking development for the DFW 1997**~ight-hour** ozone nonattainment area. comments were received from Owens Corning pointing out technical feasibility issues with controlling NOx emission from curing ovens ofthis specific operation. In response to those comments, a provision was added under § 117.403(a)(l2) to exempt curing ovens used in mineral wool-type fiberglass manufacturing in which nitrogen-bound chemical additives are used. While the type of manufacturing covered by the proposed rulemaking is different from that specified in the current rule exemption, the technical feasibility issue for Elk Corporation of Texas is similar to the Owens Corning issue, and is the basis of the current exemption in§ 117.403(a)(l2). The addition ofnitrogen-bound chemical additives contributes to the creation of non-combustion related thermal NOx that cannot be controlled using control methodologies identified by the commission as appropriate for curing ovens used in mineral wool-type fiberglass manufacturing. NOx emissions from curing ovens ofthis type are small contributors to the total NOx emissions. Ifthe Chapter 117 rule revision is adopted, approximately 0.1 tons per day (tpd) ofanticipated NOx emission reduction will be no longer available to support the DFW 1997 eight-hour ozone attainment demonstration. Therefore, a demonstration ofnoninterference submittal to the EPA is required under the FCAA Section II0(1).

Proposed September 23,2009 4-3DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision

4.2.2.1.1.3 Demonstration ofNoninterference under FCAA Section 110(1) (Addition) The estimated 0.1 tpd NOx emission increase and resulting loss to the DFW control strategy that would result from the Chapter 117 rule exemption expansion would be insignificant and not expected to interfere with the DFW area's attainment ofthe 1997 ozone standard. However, the TCEQ provides this demonstration of noninterference to support the state's assertion that expansion ofthe exemption in§ 117.403(a)(12) as proposed would not negatively impact the status ofthe area's attainment oftheNAAQS. The EPA issued draft guidance on June 8, 2005, titled "Demonstrating Noninterference under Section 110(1) ofthe Clean Air Act When Revising a State Implementation Plan." The guidance provides options available for states to demonstrate noninterference in nonattainment areas for affected pollutants. One option for demonstrating noninterference is through the substitution of measures that provide equivalent or greater emissions reduction/air quality benefits than the measure(s) being removed from the SIP. The commission proposes to replace the 0.1 tpd NOx reduction from the § 117.403 exemption with 0. 1 tpd NOx allotment of vehicle fleet turnover surplus emission reductions predicted to occur in the one-year period beginning June 15, 2009. Allocating 0.1 tpd NOx reduction from fleet turnover surplus emissions ensures that adoption ofthe Chapter 117 rulemaking associated with this DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision will not interfere with the DFW 1997 eight-hourozone attainment demonstration. 4.2.2.2.- 4.2.2.4 (No revision)

4.3. REASONABLY AVAILABLE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY (RACT) ANALYSIS (Revision) 4.3.1 DFWVOC RACT Analysis Update (Addition) The DFW nine-county ozone nonattainment area is classified as a moderate nonattainment area for the 1997 eight-hour ozone standard, and thus required to meet RACT mandates ofthe 1990 FCAA Amendments under§§ 172(c)(1), 182(b)(2) and 182(f). States containing nonattainment areas classified as moderate or higher must demonstrate that current rules fulfill 1997 eight-hour ozone RACT requirements for all control technique guidelines (CTG) categories, and for all nonCTG major sources ofNOx and VOC. Section 183(e) ofthe FCAA directs the EPA to regulate categories that account for at least 80 percent ofthe VOC emissions from consumer and commercial products in ozone nonattainment areas. FCAA § 183(e)(3) requires the EPA to regulate VOC emissions from consumer arid commercial products by issuing national regulations applicable to manufacturers, processors, wholesale distributors, or importers, or by issuing CTG documents. Under 42 United States Code (USC),§ 75ll(b), the EPA is required to issue CTG documents to assist states in developing RACT for major sources of VOC emissions. States can adopt and implement the CTG recommendations, or they can adopt alternative approaches, but in either event, a RACT demonstration and any rule revisions must be submitted to the EPA for review and approval as part ofthe SIP. The FCAA provides that states with ozone nonattainment areas classified as moderate and above must revise their ozone SIPs to include requirements for RACT

Proposed September23, 2009 4-4DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision

for VOC sources covered by any EPA CTG document issued after November 15, 1990, and prior to the date ofattainment. The DFW 1997 Eight-Hour Ozone AD SIP Revision submitted to the EPA in May 2007 demonstrated fulfilled VOC RACT requirements for the nine-county DFW 1997 eight-hour ozone nonattainment area. The RACT element ofthat SIP revision: (I) identified VOC emission CTG source categories for the area and provided negative declarations for the categories where no major emission sources exist; (2) identified the state regulation(s) that implement or exceed RACT for each applicable CTG source category; and (3) described the basis for concluding that the regulations fulfill RACT. That RACT analysis demonstrated that current VOC rules and controls for the DFW area satisfy the FCAA requirements for RACT for all CTG or alternative control technology (ACT) VOC source categories specific to any CTG or ACT documents issued prior to 2006. RACT for all non-CTG/ACT major VOC emission source categories for which controls are technologically and economically feasible is met by the EPA-approved Chapter 115 rules or otherfederally enforceable measures. The EPA provided final approval ofthe VOC RACT analysis element ofthe DFW attainment demonstration in the conditional approval document for the DFW 1997 Eight-Hour Ozone AD SIP Revision (74 FR 1903; January 14, 2009). However, during and shortly after development of that SIP revision, the EPA issued II new Consumer and Commercial Products CTG documents. Some of the recommendations made in the new CTGs were updates to previously issued guidelines, and some were recommendations for new categories. The RACT analysis did not include the 2006 through 2008 CTG documents. The EPA requires SIP revision submittals within one year after final Consumer and Commercial Products CTG documents publish in the Federal Register; however, there was not sufficient time to address those in the May 2007 DFW AD SIP Revision before the submittal deadline. During development ofthat SIP revision, the commission had requested extension ofthe deadline to allow sufficient time to review, evaluate and act upon the CTGs. In its final rule, the EPA did not extend that deadline, but did indicate an intention to work with statesto ensure timely submittals ofthe required SIP revisions. The II CTG documents published in the Federal Register in lieu of national regulations each contain recommendations for VOC controls on various consumer and commercial products. On October 5, 2006, final CTGs for Group II product categories were published (71 FR 58745). On October 9, 2007, final CTGs were published for Group III product categories (72 FR 57215). Final.CTGs for Group IV product categories were published on October 7, 2008 (73 FR 58481). The following is a list ofthe CTG documents:

• Flat WoodPaneling Coatings, GroupIIIssued in 2006 • Flexible PackagingPrintingMaterials, GroupIIIssued in 2006 • Industrial CleaningSolvents, GroupIIIssuedin2006 • OffsetLithographic andLetterpress Printing, GroupIIIssued in 2006 • LargeAppliance Coatings, GroupIIIIssuedin 2007 • Metal Furniture Coatings, GroupIIIIssued in 2007 • Paper, Film, andFoil Coatings, GroupIIIIssuedin 2007 • AutoandLight-Duty TruckAssembly Coatings, GroupIVIssued in2008 • Fiberglass BoatManufacturingMaterials, GroupIVIssued in 2008 • Miscellaneous IndustrialAdhesives, GroupIVIssuedin 2008 • Miscellaneous Metal andPlasticParts Coatings, GroupIVIssued in 2008

Proposed September23, 2009 4-5DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision
TCEQ staff evaluated the new CTG documents to make RACT determinations for the State of Texas and to determine ifadditional VOC controls are necessary to fulfill RACT requirements. The following provides a brief summary of the state's RACT determinations regarding the II CTG documents. This DFW RACT, Rule and Contingency SIP Revision proposes an update to the VOC RACT element of the DFW area's 1997 eight-hour ozone attainment demonstration. Details regarding the state's evaluation ofthe CTG documents and RACT determinations for the source categories addressed are provided in the VOC RACT analysis update for the DFW area contained in Appendix A: DFWReasonablyAvailable Control TechnologyAnalysis Update. Through this SIP revision, the TCEQ demonstrates a continued VOC RACT fulfillment in the DFW 1997 eight-hour ozone nonattainment area. The RACT update provided in this SIP revision identifies state regulation(s) that implement or exceed RACT for each applicable CTG source category, and describe the TCEQ's basis for concluding that the regulations fulfill RACT for the DFW area. Although the FCAA requires states to implement RACT for new or revised CTGs, the recommendations made do not always constitute RACT for an affected area. As indicated by the EPA in the introduction ofeach ofthe CTG documents, the purpose ofthe CTG is to assist states in determining what represents RACT for specific nonattainment areas. 4.3.1.1. CTG Document Recommendations Not Applicable to the DFW Area The TCEQ provides a negative declaration for the Flat Wood Paneling Coatings CTG source category. The TCEQ determined that no sources meeting the applicability criteria recommended in the CTG document are located in the DFW area. Additional information is provided in Appendix A: Dallas-Fort Worth ReasonablyAvailable Control TechnologyAnalysis Update. 4.3.1.2. CTG Document Recommendations that Do Not Represent RACT for the DFW Area The TCEQ has determined that (I)the recommendations do not represent RACT due to economic or technological feasibility concerns, or that (2) the TCEQ has equivalent or superior controls in place for the following four CTG source categories: Fiberglass Boat Manufacturing Materials; Flexible Packaging Printing Materials; Auto and Light-Duty Truck Assembly Coatings; and Paper, Film, and Foil Coatings. Therefore, the TCEQ is not proposing to implement any rule amendments or new rules associated with these CTG categories. Additional information is provided in Appendix A: Dallas-Fort Worth ReasonablyAvailable Control TechnologyAnalysis Update. 4.3.1.3. CTG Document Recommendations for which RACT Determinations are Not Being The TCEQ is not making a determination at this time whether the CTG recommendations for the Industrial Cleaning Solvents or the Miscellaneous Industrial Adhesives categories represent RACT for Texas. The TCEQ's initial assessment indicates that the EPA substantially underestimated the scope and potential impact ofthe CTGs, and that the implementation ofthe recommendations would have widespread and potentially adverse impacts to small businesses and micro-businesses. The TCEQ will continue to evaluate the CTGs, and intends to provide small business outreach in order to more clearly gauge adverse impact potential. A RACT determination regarding the recommendations for this CTG source category will be made after these outstanding issues are addressed. Once adequate stakeholder input is received and the TCEQ determines potential impact to small businesses, economic and technological feasibility, and practical enforceability of the recommendations, a RACT determination can be made. Additional information is provided in Appendix A: Dallas-Fort Worth Reasonably Available Control TechnologyAnalysis Update. ·

Proposed September 23, 2009 4-6DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision

In a letter to the EPA dated December 8, 2008, the TCEQ requested clarification from the EPA regarding several issues related to recommendations made in the CTG documents for the following source categories: Large Appliance Coatings; Metal Furniture Coatings; and Miscellaneous Metal and Plastic Parts Coatings. A number of the CTG recommendations regarding VOC content limits for specific coatings categories are less stringent than the more general VOC content limits specified in the EPA's original CTG recommendations. The TCEQ requested clarification to determine if implementing the CTG recommendations would be backsliding. Staffhas requested this clarification to ensure that the TCEQ has all the appropriate infonnation needed to detennine whether the recommendations represent RACT for Texas. As of September 4, 2009, the EPA had not yet responded to the request for clarification. Therefore, the TCEQ cannot yet detennine whether these CTGs represent RACT for Texas. A RACT detennination will be made after the EPA provides clarification to the issues identified and the TCEQ evaluates the CTG recommendations in context with the EPA's response. 4.3.1.4. CTG Document Recommendations that Represent RACT for the DFW Area The TCEQ has detennined that some recommendations in the Offset Lithographic and Letterpress Printing CTG represent RACT for the DFW area. Concurrent with this SIP revision, the TCEQ is proposing rulemaking to limit the VOC content ofsolvents used by offset lithographic printing facilities in certain areas of Texas, including the DFW area (Rule Project 2008-0 19-115-EN). The proposed rulemaking would implement CTG recommendations to reduce the VOC content of fountain solutions and cleaning materials, and would expand applicability ofthe current rule to include smaller sources not currently subject to the rule. The TCEQ is not proposing to implement any rulemaking associated with the control requirements for heatset presses or letterpress printing recommendations. Additional discussion concerning the state's detennination regarding the CTG recommendations for heatset press and letterpress printing is provided in Appendix A: DFWReasonablyAvailable Control Technology Analysis Update. The Chapter 115 rulemaking (TCEQ Rule Project No. 2008-019-115-EN) associated with this SIP revision, proposed to implement RACT for offset lithographic printing sources, is described in Section 4.2.1., VOC ControlMeasures, ofthis SIP revision.
4.4. - 4.5. (No revision) 4.6. CONTINGENCY MEASURES (Revision) 4.6.1. Background (Addition) FCAA (42 USC§§ 7502(c)(9) and 7511a(c)(9)) and the EPA final Phase 2 1997 eight-hourozone implementation rule require that the SIPs for all 1997 eight-hour ozone nonattainment areas include contingency measures as additional controls needed to further reduce emissions in the event an area fails to attain by its attainment date. The Act requires that states with ozone nonattainment areas classified as moderate and above include contingency measures in their SIPs (sections 172(c)(9) and 182(c)(9)). Per the FCAA, the failure-to-attain contingency plan must identifY control measures sufficient to secure an additional three percent reduction (from the 1999 adjusted base year emissions inventory used in the attainment demonstration) in ozone precursor emissions should a moderate nonattainment area fail to attain the 1997 eight-hourozone NAAQS by the June 15,2010, required attainment date. The May 2007 DFWAD SIP Revision, Appendix B: Emissions Inventory Development identifies 520.08 tpd ofVOC and 754.56 tpd ofNOx in the 1999 adjusted base year emissions inventory from all anthropogenic sources in the DFW ninecounty nonattainment area.

Proposed September23, 2009 4-7DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision

As part ofits January 14 2009, final conditional approval ofthe DFW 1997 Eight-Hour Ozone AD SIP Revision, as supplemented and revised (74 FR 1903), the EPA deemed the failure-toattain contingency plan (as submitted in the May 2007 DFW AD SIP Revision, supplemented in April 2008, and revised in the November 2008 DFW AD SIP Contingency Plan Revision) to be complete and fully approved. That contingency plan identified emissions reductions from three state VOC rules along with emission reductions from the 2009 through 20I0 mobile source fleet turnover as the contingency measures. At the time these VOC rules were identified for the DFW eight-hour ozone failure-to-attain contingency plan, they were not required to meet VOC RACT requirements. The three rules, applicable to (I) Offset Lithographic Printing, as in 30 TAC § l15.449(c); (2) Degassing or Cleaning of Stationary, Marine, and Transport Vessels, as in 30 TAC § 115.549(b); and (3) Petroleum Dry Cleaning, as in 30 TAC § 115.559(a), were determined to provide a cumulative 1.80 tpd VOC emission reduction from sources in Collin, Dallas, Denton, and Tarrant Counties. Surplus emission reductions predicted to result from the fleet turnover to occur over a one-year period beginning June 15, 2010, were identified to provide the remainder ofemission reductions needed for the three percentcontingency requirement. The turnover of the on-road fleet of cars and trucks will result in additional VOC and NOx emission benefits in 2009 and beyond because newer vehicles have significantly lower emission standards than vehicles they are replacing. New vehicle emission standards are lower primarily due to a number offederal rules such as the Tier 2 standards for automobiles and light trucks, and the 2007 Heavy-Duty Diesel standards for large diesel highway trucks. Emission reductions predicted to occur from the fleet turnover duringthe one-year period beginning June 15, 2009, are estimated to total4.86tpd VOC and 20.78 tpdNOx. 4.6.2. Revised DFW 1997 Eigbt-Hour Ozone Failure-to-Attain ContingencyPlan (Addition) This DFW RACT, Rule and Contingency SIP Revision proposes a revised contingency plan for the DFW 1997 eight-hour ozone attainment demonstration. Removal of one measure from the contingency plan

- the offset lithographic measure - and a modified allotment offleet turnover reductions dedicated to the failure-to-attain contingency plan are both proposed in this SIP revision. Upon adoption ofthis DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision, 13.36 tpd of the NOx emission reductions, and 4.86 tpd ofthe VOC emission reductions predicted from the June 2009 through 2010 fleet turnover will be dedicated to provide reductions for the contingency plan. Due to the associated Chapter 115 rule proposal applicable to the same sources, the offset lithograph printing rule contingency measure (and the associated 0.24 tpd predicted VOC reduction) is being removed as a contingency measure. However, the two other state VOC rules identified in the SIP revision will remain in the SIP. Those two VOC rule contingency measures provide controls applicable to the degassing or cleaning process of stationary, marine, and transport vessels, and to petroleum-based dry cleaning. The three contingency measures identified in Table 4.1:

DALLAS-FORTWORTH REASONABLY AVAILABLE CONTROLTECHNOLOGY ANALYSIS UPDATE


### 1.0. Introduction The Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) eight-hour ozone nonattainment area (Dallas, Denton, Collin, Tarrant, Parker, Johnson, Ellis, Kaufman, and Rockwall Counties) is currently classified moderate nonattainment for the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 1997 eight-hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). Under the 1997 eight-hour ozone standard, the area is required to meet the mandates ofthe Federal Clean Air Act (FCAA) under§§ 172(c)(l), 182(b)(2) and 182(f). According to the EPA's Final Rule to Implement the Eight-Hour Ozone NAAQS (40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) § 51.912, November 29, 2005), the area must submit as a revision to the state implementation plan (SIP) a demonstration that current rules fulfill the eight-hour reasonably available control technology (RACT) requirements for all Control Techniques Guidelines (CTG) categories. The EPA previously approved the volatile organic compounds (VOC) RACT analysis, as submitted in the May 2007 DFW Eight-Hour Ozone Attainment Demonstration SIP Revision (74 FR 1903; January 14, 2009). However, in 2006 through 2008, the EPA issued II new CTG documents containing recommendations for VOC controls on a variety ofconsumer and commercial products. Some of the new CTG recommendations update previously issued CTG documents and some of them apply to new source categories. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has evaluated the CTG documents to determine if additional VOC controls are necessary to fulfill RACT requirements. The following is a list ofthe 11 CTG documents evaluated for this DFW VOC RACT analysis update:

• Flat WoodPaneling Coatings, Group II issued in 2006 • Flexible PackagingPrintingMaterials, Group II issued in 2006 • Industrial CleaningSolvents, Group II issued in 2006 • OffsetLithographic andLetterpressPrinting, Group II issued in 2006 • LargeAppliance Coatings, Group III issued in 2007 • Metal Furniture Coatings, Group III issued in 2007 • Paper, Film, andFoil Coatings, Group III issued in 2007 • AutoandLight-Duty TruckAssembly Coatings, Group IV issued in 2008 • Fiberglass BoatManufacturingMaterials, Group IV issued in 2008 • Miscellaneous IndustrialAdhesives, Group IV issued in 2008 • Miscellaneous MetalandPlasticParts Coatings, Group IV issued in 2008 Because the Group II CTG documents publishedjust shortly before the May 2007 DFW AD SIP Revision was proposed, and because the EPA issued the remaining seven after the TCEQ submitted that SIP revision to the EPA, RACT analysis determinations for the new CTGs have not yet been submitted to the EPA. This document addresses the II CTG documents, and provides a VOC RACT analysis update for the DFW area. RACTrepresents the lowest emissions limitation that a particular source is capable ofmeeting by the application ofcontrol technology that is reasonably available, considering technological and economic feasibility (44 Federal Register 53762; September 17, 1979). RACT requirements for moderate nonattainment areas are included in the FCAA to ensure the control, to a reasonable extent, ofozone precursor emissions at major sources are controlled. However, RACT control levels are not necessarily equal to the best available control technology (BACT) levels expected

Proposed September23, 2009 A-2DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision

of new sources or to the maximum achievable control technology (MACT) levels required for major sources ofhazardous airpollutants. RACT and reasonably available control measures (RACM) have similar consideration factors such as technological and economic feasibility; however, there is significant distinction between RACT and RACM. In order for a control measure to be determined RACM, the measure must advance the area's NAAQS attainment. However, a measure need not advance NAAQS attainment to be determined RACT, as benefits resulting from RACT implementation are presumed under the FCAA.

2.0. RACT Evaluation Approach 2.1. General Discussion The TCEQ demonstrates that RACT requirements are fulfilled by: (1) identifying all CTG source categories ofVOC and NOx emissions and submitting negative declarations for categories where no major emission sources exist; (2) identifying all non-CTG major sources ofVOC and NOx emissions; (3) identifying the state regulation implementing or exceeding RACT for each applicable CTG source category or non-CTG major emission source; and (4) describing the basis for conclusion that the regulations fulfill RACT. Because this SIP revision**focu~es** specifically on the 11 CTG documents issued by the EPA from 2006 through 2008, this RACT analysis provides only an update to the DFW VOC RACT demonstration. 2.2. Identification ofCTG Emission Source Categories The EPA has issued CTG documents defining RACT for existing facilities. The TCEQ reviewed the 11 Consumer and Commercial Products CTG documents issued from 2006 through 2008 to identify all source categories ofVOC emissions that require RACT. RACT determinations are not required ifthere are no facilities in the DFW area that are subject to the CTG document. Negative declarations for source categories described in the EPA guidance documents that do not exist in the DFW area are included. 2.3. Determining ifState Regulations Fulfill RACT Requirements The EPA previously approved the VOC rules in 30 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) Chapter 115 as meeting RACT requirements for the DFW area for CTG documents issued prior to 2006. RACT determinations regarding the CTG documents issued in 2006 and later were made by comparing the CTG recommendations to TCEQ rules to determine ifthe existing rules satisfied RACT. Specific discussion regarding the CTG recommendations evaluated is provided in Sections 3.3.2. through 3.3.4. BACT is an emission standard based upon a maximum achievable degree ofemission reduction, and is at least as stringent as the emission standards set by any applicable FCAA provision. MACT is an emission standard that requires the maximum reduction ofhazardous emissions, and is at least as stringent as the average emission level achieved by controls on the top 12 percent of existing sources in the applicable source category. Emission sources that are subject to the more stringent BACT or MACT requirements were determined to fulfill RACT requirements. The TCEQ reviewed the emission sources in the DFW areaand the applicable state rules to verify that all CTG emission source categories in the DFW area are subject to requirements that meet or exceed applicable RACT requirements or that further emission controls are not economically or technologically feasible.

Proposed September23, 2009 A-3DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision

3.0. RACT Determination and Discussion 3.1. The EPA Consumer and Commercial Products CTG Documents, Group II Issued in 2006 3.1.1. Flat Wood Paneling Coatings The TCEQ is not proposing to implement any rule amendment or new rule for the DFW area associated with the Flat Wood PanelingCoatings CTG. The EPA indicated in Appendix 

### B: State andLocal Regulationsfor Flat WoodPaneling ofthe CTG document that two facilities in Texas ozone nonattainment areas are potentially subject to the recommendations. Based on a review of the 2005 point source emissions inventory, the TCEQ determined that only one facility in the DFW area, Buell Door Company, TCEQ Account Number DB-0128-U, may fit the source category description in the Flat Wood Paneling Coatings CTG. However, that facility ceased all operations in 2006 and to date has not reported any emissions for the site for subsequent years. The TCEQ does not expect that the company will resume business operations at this facility; therefore, the TCEQ provides a negative declaration for this CTG category for the DFW area. 3.1.2. Flexible Packaging Printing Materials The TCEQ is not proposing to implement any rule amendments or new rules for the DFW area associated with the Flexible Packaging PrintingMaterials CTG document. Rules for flexographic and rotogravure printing in Chapter 115, SubchapterE, Division 3 and the sites' permit provisions sufficiently satisfy RACT for the DFW area. The Flexible Packaging Printing Materials CTG recommends an add-on air pollution control device requirement on any flexible package printing press with the potential to emit 25 tons per year (tpy) or more of VOC. Current TCEQ rules control emissions from flexographic and rotogravure printing lines on a property with the combined uncontrolled potential to emit 50 tpy or more of VOC when operating at maximum production rate. The TCEQ has identified nine facilities in the DFW nonattainment area that potentially meet applicability criteria in this CTG document. However, eight facilities have enforceable limitations on VOC emissions in place that restrict VOC emissions to less than 25 tpy, consistent with the recommendation to allow sites to elect the 25 tpy enforceable limitation. The remaining facility, Printpack Inc., TCEQ Account Number TA-0282-E, has enforceable permit provisions that are more effective overall than the CTG recommendations regarding VOC capture and destruction efficiency. The permit requirements specified for these facilities sufficiently fulfill RACT requirements for this CTG category. The CTG also recommends specific work practice requirements for flexible package printing operations with an uncontrolled potential to emit 15 pounds per day (ppd) or more ofVOC. The EPA's CTG document does not provide a VOC emissions reduction estimate for implementing these work practices. Based on the TCEQ's review, the potential benefit from implementing the work practices is not reliably quantifiable, and any emission reduction would likely be miniscule. Additionally, the TCEQ expects that most facilities already voluntarily follow similar work practices for safety reasons or that they have required work practices as part of a permit authorization. The TCEQ does not consider it reasonable to impose additional rule requirements for general housekeeping requirements when neither need nor quantifiable benefits are apparent. 3.1.3. Industrial Cleaning Solvents The TCEQ is not making a RACT determination at this time regarding the Industrial Cleaning Solvents CTG recommendations. The TCEQ's assessment indicates that the EPA substantially underestimated the scope and potential impact ofthe recommendations. In Appendix D ofthe CTG document: Number of nonattainment facilities organizedbyState thatare estimatedto meet the applicability criteria recommended in the CTG, the EPA estimated 92 facilities in Texas nonattainment areas would be subject to the recommendations. However, the North American
Proposed September23, 2009 A-4DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes provided in Appendix C ofthe CTG document: Summary of NAICS Codesfor nonattainment facilities estimatedto meet the applicability criteria recommended in the CTG suggests a much broader applicability. Based on the EPA's 15 ppd VOC suggested exemption threshold and the listed NAICS codes, the TCEQ estimates that implementation ofthis recommendation would have widespread and possibly adverse impact on small business and micro-business in Texas. Evaluating technological and economic feasibility aspects ofa proposed technology or control measure is integral to determining RACT; however, identifying potentially impacted businesses and determining applicability of a technology or measure are required to conduct those evaluations. Because additional research is needed in order to clarify and determine source applicability of this CTG, a RACT analysis cannot be completed at this time. The TCEQ will continue to evaluate this CTG, and intends to conduct small business outreach to potentially impacted stakeholders in order to obtain the information needed to complete a RACT analysis. A RACT determination for this CTG category can be made only after the TCEQ has determined impact to small businesses, technological and economic feasibility, and practical enforceability ofthe CTG recommendations. 3.1.4. Offset Lithographic & Letterpress Printing The TCEQ has determined that portions ofthe Offset Lithographic and Letterpress Printing CTG recommendations do represent RACT for the DFW area. Concurrent with this SIP revision, the TCEQ is proposing rulemaking to limit the VOC content ofsolvents used by offset lithographic printing facilities in the DFW area. The proposed Chapter 115 rulemaking implements the CTG recommendations to reduce the VOC content ofthe fountain solutions and cleaning solutions, and expands rule applicability to include smaller sources not subject to the existing rule. The TCEQ is not proposing to implement any rule amendments or new rules for the DFW area associated with the recommended control requirements for heatset presses. The CTG recommends an add-on air pollution control device requirement for each heatset offset lithographic press with an uncontrolled potential to emit 25 tpy ofVOC or more from the dryer. The EPA recommends different control efficiencies for devices installed before and after the effective date ofthe rule implementingthese CTG recommendations; EPA recommends requiring a 90 percent overall control efficiency for control devices installed before the rule effective date and a 95 percent overall control efficiency for control devices installed after the rule effective date. The commission is not proposing any rule amendments or new rules to implement the EPA's recommendations for these sources. In the DFW area, the existing Chapter 115 rules require control devices with an efficiency ofat least 90 percent to be installed on heatset offset lithographic presses located on a property with combined VOC emissions ofat least 50 tpy. The existing Chapter 115 requirement may not be as stringent as the EPA's recommendations for control devices installed before the rule effective date in all instances, since an individual press with uncontrolled emissions greaterthan 25 tpy could be located on a site with total emissions less than 50 tpy when uncontrolled. However, staff reviewed the point source emissions inventory, Title V, and central registry databases to identify heatset presses in the DFW area potentially subject to the EPA's CTG recommendations and determined that the heatset presses identified have control devices with a minimum efficiency of 90 percent to comply with either Chapter 115 rules or as part oftheir permit authorization. Since the level of control on heatset presses identified in the DFW area either meets or exceeds the EPA's recommendations for control devices installed before the effective date ofthe rule, the commission is not proposing any new rules or rule revisions for control devices on heatset presses in the DFW area.

Proposed September 23, 2009 A-5DFWRACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision

The EPA also recommends requiring a 95 percent overall efficiency for control devices installed after the rule effective date on individual heatset web offset lithographic presses with the uncontrolled potential to emit at least 25 tpy ofVOC. Control devices installed in the future will be required to meet best available control technology standards of at least 95 percent control efficiency as part oftheir pennit authorization. Therefore, the commission is not proposing any new rules or rule revisions for control devices installed on heatset presses after the effective date ofthe rule. The TCEQ is not proposing to implement any new rules associated with the recommendations applicable to letterpress printing emission sources in DFW area. Letterpress printing operations are not currently regulated under Chapter 115 rules; however, the CTG recommends an add-on air pollution control device requirement for each heatset letterpress with an uncontrolled potential to emit 25 tpy or more ofVOC from the dryer. Reviews ofthe point source emissions inventory, Title V database, and central registry databases indicate there may be some letterpress printing operations co-located with offset lithographic printing operations in the DFW area; however, it appears that none of the presses have potential to emit over 15 tpy of VOC, so they are not subjectto the recommended controls. The 2006 CTG also recommends limiting the VOC content ofcleaning solutions used in offset lithographic printing operationsto 70.0 percent VOC by weight in conjunction with work practice standards. However, the proposed rules retain the more stringent existing Chapter 115 cleaning solution content limit of70 percent VOC by volume in conjunction with work practice standards. In addition, the proposed rules retain the existing Chapter 115 option to limit the cleaning solution content to 50 percent VOC by volume. The TCEQ is proposing to include this option to retain the flexibility afforded to owners and operators subject to the current rules. The CTG also recommends requiring specific work practices for cleaning operations for offset lithographic and letterpress printing facilities with the uncontrolled potential to emit of 15 ppd or more ofVOC. The TCEQ expects that most facilities are already voluntarily following similar practices for safety reasons or have required work practices as part of the sites' pennit authorization. The TCEQ does not consider it reasonable to implement additional rule requirements for general housekeeping requirements on sites when there is no apparent need nor any quantifiable benefit. 3.2. EPA Consumer and Commercial Products CTG Documents, Group III Issued in 2007 3.2.1. Large Appliance Coating By letter dated December 8, 2008, the TCEQ requested clarification from the EPA regarding several issues related to the Large Appliance Coatings CTG recommendations. Current TCEQ rules in Chapter 115 for large appliance coating operations are based on the Large Appliance Coatings CTG issued by the EPA in 1977. A number ofthe recommended VOC content limits for specific coatings categories listed in the 2007 CTG document are less stringent than the more general VOC content limits specified in the EPA's 1977 CTG recommendations for the Large Appliance Coatings category. Since the 2007 Large Appliance Coatings CTG document does not specifically address this issue, the TCEQ has requested clarification to verify that implementation of the new recommendations would not be backsliding, and to ensure that the TCEQ has all infonnation needed to detennine whether the 2007 CTG recommendations represent RACT for Texas. See Attachment 1for the TCEQ letterto the EPA requesting clarification on these issues. As ofSeptember4, 2009, the EPA has not responded to the TCEQ request for clarification on the Large Appliance Coatings CTG recommendations. Therefore, the TCEQ is not making a RACT detennination until the EPA provides clarification to the issues identified, and the TCEQ evaluatesthe CTG recommendations in context withthe EPA's response.
Proposed September23, 2009 A-6DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision

3.2.2. Metal Furniture Coatings In the previously mentioned letter to the EPA of December 8, 2008, the TCEQ requested clarification from the EPA regarding several issues related to theMetal Furniture Coatings CTGs. Current TCEQ rules in Chapter 115 for metal furniture coating operations are based directly on the 1977 Metal Furniture Coatings CTG document issued by the EPA. A number ofthe VOC content limits for specific coatings categories recommended in the 2007 CTGs are less stringent than the more general VOC content limits specified in the EPA's 1977 recommendations for the Metal Furniture Coatings category. Since the 2007 Metal Furniture Coatings CTG document does not specifically address this issue, the TCEQ has requested clarification from the EPA to ensure that implementing the 2007 CTGs would not be backsliding, and to be certain that the TCEQ has the appropriate information to determine whether the 2007 CTGs represent RACT for Texas. See Attachment 1for the TCEQ letter to the EPA requesting clarification on these issues. As ofSeptember 4, 2009, the EPA has not responded to the TCEQ request for clarification on the CTG recommendations. Therefore, the TCEQ is not making a RACT determination until the EPA provides clarification to the issues identified, and the TCEQ evaluates the CTG recommendations in context with the EPA's response. · 3.2.3. Paper, Film, and Foil Coatings The TCEQ is not proposing to implement any rule amendment or new rule associated with the Paper, Film, and Foil Coatings CTG for the DFW area. The EPA recommendation for the installation of controls to achieve 90 percent reduction or compliance with the more stringent coating content limits would only apply to individual presses with a potential to emit 25 tpy or more ofVOC priorto the consideration ofcontrols. The TCEQ has identified two facilities in the DFW area that fit the applicability description in this CTG document. However, the rules in Chapter 115, Subchapter E, Division 2, and the sites' permit provisions are sufficient to satisfy RACT for the DFW area for this category of sources. One facility, Rock Tenn Converting Company, TCEQ Account Number DB-0 179-D, has an enforceable permit limitation ofless than 25 tpy VOC emissions from the coating line operations. This is consistent with the CTG recommendation to allow sites to elect enforceable limitations to keep VOC emissions less than 25 tpy. The other facility, Printpack Inc., TCEQ Account Number TA-0282-E, has enforceable permit previsions regarding VOC capture and destruction efficiency that are overall more effective than the CTG recommendations. The specified permits requirements for these facilities sufficiently fulfill RACT for this CTG category. The CTG also recommends specific work practice requirements for cleaning operations at paper, film, and foil coating facilities with uncontrolled emission potential of 15 ppd or more ofVOC. The two facilities identified in the DFW area each have work practices incorporated into the site' permit conditions. These enforceable work practices provide a reasonable level ofcontrol for these activities and are sufficient to fulfill RACT. The estimated VOC emissions reduction from work practice implementation was not provided by the EPA in the CTG document. Therefore, the TCEQ cannot ascertain whether any quantifiable environmental benefit would result from regulatory work practice requirements at the facility. The TCEQ does not consider it reasonable to implement additional rule requirements for general housekeeping requirements when there is no apparent need nor any quantifiable benefit. 3.3. EPA Consumer and Commercial Products CTG Documents, Group IV Issued in 2008 3.3.1. Auto and Light-Duty Truck Assembly Coatings

Proposed September23, 2009 A-7DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision

The TCEQ is not proposing to implement for the DFW area any rule amendments or new rules associated with the Auto and Light-Duty Truck Assembly Coatings CTG. One site identified in the DFW area is subject to the Auto and Light-Duty Truck Assembly Coatings CTG document: General Motors Corporation's Arlington Assembly Plant, TCEQ Account Number TA-0 157-1. However, the EPA indicates on page 23 ofthe CTG document that VOC emission reductions will not result from implementing the CTGs for coatings. Because auto and light-duty truck coating facilities have previously reduced coating operation VOC emissions in compliance with 40 Code ofFederal Regulations (CFR) Part 60, New Source Performance Standards (NSPS), Subpart MM, Automobile and Light-Duty Truck Surface Coating Operations; 40 CFR Part 63, National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPS), Subpart IIII, Surface Coating of Automobiles and Light-Duty Trucks; and existing state rules, the TCEQ agrees that the CTGs for coatings would not result in any actual VOC emission reductions. Permit requirements (TCEQ Permit Number 19156) for the General Motors Corporation Arlington Assembly Plant provide overall VOC emission controls superior to the CTG recommendations. Permit Number 19156 requires thermal or regenerative oxidizer controls at the many coating operations (clear coat operation line, prime electrodeposition coating oven, automatic zones ofprimer surfacer booth, primer surfacer oven, base basecoat spray booths) at the facility. In addition, coatings used must comply with the most recent VOC content requirements for coatings in the 30 TAC Chapter 115, NSPS Subpart MM, and NESHAP Subpart 1111. While the CTG document recommends coating VOC content limits slightly lower than those currently required at the facility, the control device efficiency requirement recommendations for these operations range from 75 to 91 percent. The overall level of VOC control for coating operations at the Arlington Assembly Plant is equivalent or superior to that recommended by the EPA in the CTG and sufficiently meets RACT for this category. Therefore, there is no environment benefit or other practical value in implementing rules to incorporate the recommended coating controls into Chapter 115. Regarding the recommended work practices for coating-related activities and cleaning materials, TCEQ Permit Number 19156 specifies good industrial housekeeping and painting operation cleanup requirements. Additionally, as pointed out by the EPA in the CTG document, the NESHAP regulations require facilities to develop and implement work practice plans to reduce organic hazardous air pollutant emissions. These enforceable work practices provide reasonable control levels for these activities and are sufficient to fulfill RACT. An estimate ofany VOC reduction benefit for implementing recommended work practices is not provided in the CTG document. Therefore, the TCEQ is unable to determine whether any real environmental benefit would result from imposing further regulatory work practices onthe facility. 3.3.2. Fiberglass Boat Manufacturing Materials The TCEQ has determined that the Fiberglass Boat Manufacturing Materials CTG recommendations do not represent RACT for Texas. The CTG document identified no facilities subject to the Fiberglass Boat Manufacturing Materials CTG document in the DFW area; however, the TCEQ cannot make a definitive negative declaration for this source category. Based on information provided by the EPA in the CTG document, the TCEQ has determined that implementing the recommended controls would not result in substantive VOC reductions, nor would it be economically feasible. The EPA stated in the CTG document that 67 facilities located in ozone nonattainment areas nationwide are expected to meet the applicability ofthe CTG. However, the EPA expects that additional VOC reductions will not result from any applicable major source because these emission control requirements of the 2001 Boat Manufacturing NESHAP already apply to these sources. Per the EPA, the CTG may affect only 23 minor sources nationwide in ozone nonattainment areas. A potential estimated net emission
Proposed September23, 2009 A-8DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision

reduction ofapproximately 40 tpy VOC is predicted by the EPA, and the total estimated emission reductions from all 67 facilities is estimated at 1601 tpy VOC. The EPA's suggested controls would result in only a 2.5 percent reduction to the nationwide total VOC emissions from this category. In prior EPA guidance ("Issues Relating to VOC Regulation Cutpoints, Deficiencies, and Deviations, Clarification to Appendix D of November 24, 1987 Federal Register" Issued May 25, 1988), alternative threshold applicability is allowed, provided the overall controlled level for the alternative ranges within 5 percent ofthe EPA's recommended controlled level. Based on the same criterion, because the Fiberglass Boat Manufacturing Materials CTG would not result in reductions exceeding a de minimis threshold previously established by the EPA, the CTG does not represent RACT. Furthermore, the TCEQ disagrees with the cost analysis and determination that the controls are economically feasible. The EPA appears to have calculated the total $168,000 cost based on multiplying the estimated 40 tpy reduction by the approximately cost effectiveness in dollars per ton from the 200I NESHAP. This total cost estimate represents an additional average annual cost ofapproximately $7,300 per facility. However, the EPA economic report referenced in the CTG document, Economic Impact Analysis of the Boat Manufacturing NESHAP (EPA-452/R-01- 0ll), indicates substantially higher costs. The EPA economic report shows that Boat Manufacturing NESHAP compliance costs per facility average over $100,000 in total variable costs and over $4,000 in total fixed costs. While many ofthe facilities are likely to be larger businesses than would be targeted by the controls proposed in the Fiberglass Boat Manufacturing Materials CTG, over 95 percent ofthe 125 facilities evaluated in the economic report exceeded total costs of$25,000, and 99 percent exceeded total costs of$10,000. The TCEQ concludes that the EPA's economic assessment in the CTG document underestimates true cost impact, and no effective environmental benefit in the ozone nonattainment area would result. The controls recommended in the Fiberglass Boat Manufacturing Materials CTG specifically target small businesses, and cost impact to small businesses must be weighed more heavily than the cost impact to larger businesses. Based on this analysis, the TCEQ has determined that the potential cost impact to small businesses is not reasonable or feasible considering the lack of environmental benefit. 3.3.3. Miscellaneous Industrial Adhesives The TCEQ is not making a RACT determination at this time regarding the Miscellaneous Industrial Adhesives CTG recommendations. As similar to the TCEQ's assessment regarding the Industrial Cleaning Solvents CTG, the TCEQ's initial assessment ofthis CTG again indicates that the EPA substantially underestimated the scope and potential impact ofCTGs for these sources. An evaluation ofthe technological and economic feasibility is integral to determining whether a control technology or measure represents RACT, but making the determination is impossible when applicability ofthe measure is ambiguous. The TCEQ will continue to evaluate this CTG and intends to provide small business outreach to engage stakeholders and others potentially impacted by the suggested control measures. A RACT determination for this source category will be made after adequate stakeholder input has been received and upon TCEQdetermination of impact to small businesses, technological and economical feasibility ofthe recommendations, and practical enforceability ofthe CTG. 3.3.4. Miscellaneous Metal and Plastic Parts Coatings In the previously mentioned letter dated December 8, 2008, the TCEQ requested clarification from the EPA regarding several issues related to the Miscellaneous Metal and Plastic Parts Coatings CTG. The current TCEQ rules in Chapter 115 for these coating operations are based directly on original CTG recommendations issued by the EPA in 1978. Several of the recommended VOC content limits for specific coatings categories listed in the 2008 CTG are less
Proposed September23, 2009 A-9DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision stringent than the more general VOC content limits specified in the EPA's original recommendations for these categories. Since the 2008 CTG document does not specifically address this issue, the TCEQ requested clarification to ensure that that implementing the 2008 CTG would not be backsliding and to be certain that the TCEQ has all information needed to appropriately determine whether the 2008 recommendations represent RACT for Texas. See Attachment I for the TCEQ letterto the EPA requesting clarification on these issues. As ofSeptember4, 2009, the EPA has not responded to the TCEQ request for clarification on the CTG recommendations. Therefore, the TCEQ is not making a determination until the EPA provides clarification to the issues identified by the TCEQ and the TCEQ evaluates the CTG recommendations in context with the EPA's response.

### II, Group 

### ill, and Group IV Control Techniques Guidelines (CTG) documents released by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from 2006 through 2008. Our evaluation of these CTG documents has prompted several questions regarding the CTG documents for Large Appliance Coatings, Metal Furniture Coatings, and Miscellaneous Metal and Plastic Parts Coatings. The issues and questions related to these CTG documents arc detailed beiow. Texas' existirigrules in 30 TexasAdministrative Code (TAC) Chapter 115 for controllingvolatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from the surface coating of large appliances1

, metal fumiturc2

, and misceJlaneous metal parts and products3 were based on the EPA's Office ofAir Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS) corresponding 1977 and 1978 Guideline Series4 (GS) recommendations. The

-existing emission standards for surface coating oflarge appliances and metal furniture are not specific to coating**~es;** however, the 2007 erG documents for Large Appliance Coatings5 and Metal Furniture Coatings recommend setting coating type specific emission standards. Some of the recommended emissions standards are equivalent or more stringent than the existing generic standards while some recommended emission standards are less.stringent than the existing standards. Similarly, the 2008 CTG for Miscellaneous Metal and Plastic Parts Coatings' also recommends emission standards for certain coatingtypes that are less stringentthanthe existing 30TAC Chapter 115 emission standards. Pleasesee the enclosed table for a more detailed comparison ofthe existing VOC emission standards based on the 1977 and 1978 OS recommendations (and TCEQ rules) versus the 2007' and 2008 CTO documents for thesecategories. · Since some ofthe limits recommended for these specific coating types are less stringentthan the existing emission standards based on the EPA's original OS**reco~endations,** TCEQ's Air Quality Division has.

concerns that implementing the new

Specific clarification is needed that implementing the recommendations in the new erG would notbeconsideredbacksliding. 2. Are the coating type categories in the new erG considered by the EPA to be coating types that were umegulated by the original GS recommendations or is this a situation where these specific coatings were covered under the original guidance, but the EPA has re-evaluated what is technically feasible for these specialty coating types? What data was used to make this determination? 3. In

Item: Chapter 115, Control ofAir Pollution from Volatile Organic Compounds Volatile Organic Compounds {VOC) Control Techniques Guidelines (CTG) Update Rule Project No. 2008-019-115-EN
My name is Patricia Eldridge. I am a Director with Printing Industries ofthe GulfCoast (PIGC). PIGC is an affiliate of Printing Industries ofAmerica, which is the largesttrade association for the printingand graphics industries with over 11,000 membercompanies worldwide. · PIGC's purpose is to serve as the official representative ofthe graphic communications industry in the Texas gulfcoast region and furtherthe cause ofthe industry in the areas ofbusiness, government, and tothe general public.
Iwould like tothanktheTexas Commission on Environmental Qualityfor allowing meto speak with you today and offerour comments on this proposed rule. The association will be submittingformal written comments as well.
While our written comments will focus on several specific sections ofthe rule,today Iwould like to focus my comments and concerns on two main areas:

- 1. The economic impact on the businesses bythe adoption and implementation ofthe proposed rule; and 2. The overall benefit to public health given the numberofbusiness affected by the rule. First, I would like to provide a briefoverview ofthe industry. The printing industry covers multiple processes, ofwhich lithographic isjust one. Most print operations utilize morethan one process in their businesses with lithography beingthe most common. In fact, 75% ofall print businesses have lithographicoperations.
It is also an industry ofsmall business. Bythe governmentdefinition ofsmall business, firms with less than 100 employees, the general commercial printing industry is 95% small business ofwhich approximately 65% ofthose have ten orfewer employees. There are less than 20 printfacilities in theTexas gulfcoast region that have morethan 100 employees. 

# W-1

# . ,

These small businesses have limited financial and technological resources available tothem. As a result, more flexibility and options must be offered tothem.
And then there is the current economic situation. Printing has traditionally been one ofthe first industries impacted by economic downturns and one ofthe lastto recover. As businesses scale back on theiradvertising, marketing, and promotions, the printing industry is hit hard by greatly reduced printsales and volume. Profit margins in the graphic communications industry are historically low compared to many other industries; but have really dropped since 

### 2007. From 

### 2008-2009, margins have gone from 

### 3.1% downto 

### 1.6%.
All ofthese factors are placing atremendous burden o.n companies making itdifficultto absorb

. higher costs and cost-related activities.

· Specifically, the**~'mandated"** lowVOC requirementsforfountain solutions and cleaning solvents

in the proposed rule will add undue hardship on these firms. The rule summary published indicated a "conservative 

### 6% price increase" forthese products. The actual price increase is more in the 

### 40% range.
' That means, ifwe use the 

### 768 gallon peryearthreshold with the current average cost of

### $15.00 per gallon forsolvent, acompanywould see an increase in over

### $4,600 ayearforthat same amountoflowVOC product.
Another aspect is the overall effectiveness oflowVOC solvents as cleaning agents. In general, lowVOC cleaners have not had the same "cleaning ability" as atraditional higherVOC product. This means, in orderto achieve the same result,. a clean blanket or roller, a largervolume ofthe ·cleanerwill be needed as well as an increase inthe amount oftime needed to adequately clean the rollers and blankets. So nowa wash-up thatwould take 

### 10-15 minutes could nowtake easily 

### 20-30 minutes. At the current average press operator rate of

### $21.64 per hour, it could add 

### $4-$5 perwash-up to laborcosts. Given the numberofjobs run every day (on average) and the number of presses most companies have (again on average), theywill increase their labor costs 

### $60- $80 per day; 

### $300-$400 perweek; 

### $1,200- $1,600 per month; or 

### $14,400- $19,200 annually.
The 

### $4,600 ayear cost increase in product is forthe equivalent amount of high VOC cleaner. That numberdoes nottake into accountthe increased amount of. lowVOC solvent needed to clean the same amount of presses. Just addingthe 

### $4,600 product cost increase to the 

### $14,400

- $19,200 labor cost**increase~** adds 

### $19,000- $23,800to a company's expenses.

# ..

In discussing the use of lowVOC solvents and cleaning products with printers, the feedback has been negative. Those who have tried them have mentioned thatthey do notwork as well as the higherVOC material. To quote one printer, "our guys have said they (the more expensive washes) don't do as good ajob."
Lower vapor pressure solvents, although higher in cost than traditional cleaning solvents, is a more effective alternative.The product cost increase is not as high as lowVOC products and most press operators do not see the greatly increased wash-up time thatthey experience with the lowVOC materials. · Reducingthe amount of alcohol substituteto 3% by weight with no alcohol in the fountain solution will be atremendous change in production for most operations. It's notsimply a matterofchanging one productoutfor another- you are changing a process. Printing is not just a mechanical process; it is achemical process as well. Equipment must be modified in order to accommodatethe chemistry change and press operators must be trained in new procedures.
In any case, all ofthese increased expenses will need to be passed on to the consumer. In addition, given the economic climate and the projection ofits duration, these requirements could drive more printers outofbusiness. No business, nojobs, no sales tax revenue, no propertytax revenue. Incorporating best management practices such as towel handling procedures could be aviable low-cost alternative while reducing emissions.
The 1990 Federal Clean AirAct states that air qualitystandards will be established. These standards must be attained and maintained to protect public health.
When looking atthe impactofthe printing industry on the overall airemissions in the DallasFort Worth and especially Houston-Galveston areas, it is not asignificant contributor. The Houston-Galveston area has perhaps five to seven lithographicfacilities thatare permitted and already using BACT. We estimatethat 80 companies in the Houston-Galveston region have greaterthan 3tons peryear emissions. Approximately 70% ofthese firms, or56 ofthem, are belowten tonsof emissions. Given the intensive industrial nature ofthe Houston-Galveston area in the petrochemical and energy industries, the printing industry is a minorsource of emissions.**~** I ,\•
Although there are several portions ofthe rule we can support since they follow the EPA's 2006 Offset lithographic and Letterpress Printing CTG, there are afew noted exceptions TCEQwould liketo adoptthat are a concern tothe printing industry.
The items, such as the lowerVOC cleaning solvents, dueto their higher cost and reduced effectiveness will significantly increase production cost. Given the relatively low numbers of firmsthatwould be affected in the Houston-Galveston area, the overall health benefittothe general public is negligible. The minor environmental benefit does notoutweigh the high cost to small businesses. Printing Industries oftheGulfCoast is ready to continue to workwiththe TCEQ in finding solutions that are responsible, fair and equitableforall parties concerned.
We thankyou forthe opportunityto review and comment on thisvital piece ofproposed legislation. Respectfully Submitted,
Patricia Eldridge Director, Printing Industries ofthe GulfCoast

### 2 MONDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 2009 3 (2:02p.m.) 4 MS. COOK: Good afternoon. Today is 5 November 2, 2009. I would like to welcome everyone to 6 this public hearing conducted by the Texas Commission 7 on Environmental Quality. My name is Mary Ann Cook. 8 I'm with the Air Quality Division of the Chief 9 Engineer's Office. Additional TCEQ staff here today 10 are Teresa Pellae and Kathy Singleton. 11 We are here to receive oral and written 12 comments on proposed revisions to 30 TAC Chapter 115 13 rules and corresponding revisions to the State 14 Implementation Plan for the control of ozone air 15 pollution under the requirements of Texas Health and 16 Safety Code, §382.017; Texas Government Code, Chapter 17 2001, Subchapter B; and 40 Code of Federal Regulations, 18 §51.102 of the United States Environmental Protection 19 Agency concerning State Implementation Plans. 20 The proposed rule revisions apply to 30 21 TAC Chapter 115, Subchapter E, Division 4, for offset 22 lithographic printing, the proposed Dallas-Fort Worth 23 reasonably available control technology update, 30 TAC 24 Administrative Code Chapter 117 rule revision, 25 noninterference demonstration and attainment 2

### 1 demonstration contingency plan**supervisio~,** 

### revises and 2 supplements the DFW area's demonstration of attainment 3 for the 1997 eight-hour ozone standard. 4 This proposed SIP action updates the DFW 5 reasonably available· control technology, or RACT, 6 demonstration for volatile organic compounds, or VOCs. 7 It incorporates the proposed 30 TAC Chapter 115 Rule, 8 Subchapter E, Division 4, regarding offset lithographic 9 printing rule revisions. It incorporates revisions to 10 30 TAC Chapter**~1**

### 7, which was proposed on August 12, 3



### 11 2009, and demonstrates noninterference of that rule with 12 attainment of the 1997 eight-hour ozone standard. And 13 further, it revises the failure-to-attain contingency 14 plan. 15 If you intend to present oral comments on 16 either of these proposals and have not yet signed**in~** 

### 17 please sign in now at the registration table. We have 18 copies of the rule, of the SIP, hearing notice, and a 19 key in the back. We have plenty copies, so take them. 20 We will also be continuing to accept

-- 21 TCEQ will continue to accept written comments on this 22 proposal

-- these proposals until Monday, November 9, 23 2009. This hearing is strictly for receiving oral or 24 written comments. Open discussion may not occur during 25 the hearing; however, if you have any additional

### 1 questions regarding the proposals, there should be 2 additional opportunity to speak with staff after the 3 hearing. 4 We will now begin receiving comments in 5 the order in which you are registered. Once I call your 6 name, please come to the

21 COMMENTS ON BEHALF OF 22 PRINTING & 

### IMAGING ASSOCIATION OF MIDAMERICA 

# --

23 

### 24 Polanco. MR. POLANCO: Good afternoon. I'm Joe I'm the president of the Printing 

### & Imaging 25 Association of MidAmerica. We're the trade 4

### 1 association that**rep~esents** 

### commercial and advertising 2 printers in Texas as well as Dallas-Fort Worth, of 3 course, being impacted by Chapter 115. I'm going to 4 skim through this very quickly. I've made written 5 comments to the state in this format as well as what 6 I'm going to say today, so I want to highlight this. 7 We've already prepared comments already to 8 the state, submitted last week, predominantly on a 9 variety of suggestions on the language, which would make 10 the proposed regulations more consistent with the EPA's 11 Control Technique Guidelines as well as**simplif~ing** 

### the 12 process of compliance. 13 This afternoon I really want to focus on 14 the size of the impacted community and explore the 15 concept that the proposed regulations may not have a 16 significant impact on reducing emissions in the 17 Dallas/Fort Worth area. 18 Per our internal records as well as data 19 from the Comptroller's office, we estimate there are 20 approximately 900-1000 printing companies in the DFW 21 area. Because of major shifts in technology affecting 22 the industry and today•s present economic conditions, we 23 anticipate that this number will decrease by 15 to 20 24 percent over the next two to three years. 25 We also estimate that about 15 percent of 5

### 1 those so-called printers are really virtual. They are 2 really manufacturers' reps that do not have any printing 3 facilities at all. Along those same lines, 15 to 20 4 percent of the remaining

-- excuse me. Let me rephrase 5 that. 6 We estimate about 15 percent of all the 7 printers that are less than three tons of VOCs, that are 8 presently going to be exempt under this new proposed 9 regulation, are migrating away from offset technology. 10 Within three to five years, they will not be using 11 offset technology but digital technology,**whic~·does** 

### not 12 emit any kind of VOCs. 13 Yet, a portion of the industry will 14 continue to use lithographic technologies, which are 15 predominantly the larger printers, because of mass 16 marketing. It's very economical to produce that way. 17 And those companies will continue to operate. We 18 estimate there are about 140 

### companies in the DFW area 19 which fall in that greater than three tons of VOCs. 20 We also want to bring it up to TCEQ that a 21 significant number of these companies no longer use 22 isopropyl alcohol on a daily basis. They have gone 23 

### alcohol-free, so to speak. We also estimate, based on 24 conversation with suppliers, that

-- and this is an 25 estimate

-- that probably the entire industry consumes 6

### 1 no more than 80 tons of alcohol a year. Of those 140 2 companies, which are considered major printers, 3 approximately 30 of those companies emit more than 10 4 tons. That's based on the 2007 emissions inventory that 5 was submitted to the TCEQ. And only a handful of those 6 emit more than 50 tons. 7 Based on discussions with suppliers, 8 printers, we estimate the total emissions from the 9 impact of companies are about 1,400 tons per year. 10 Companies who are permitted and following RACT 11 guidelines probably

-- excuse me. Let me**rephra~e** 

### that. 12 Companies who are permitted are following RACT 13 guidelines; thus, it's the remaining companies who will 14 be the target of these proposed rules. We 15 conservatively estimate that that group, if you will, 16 emits about 600 tons of emissions. 17 If we do the math, we're talking reducing 18 VOCs through clean solids. Predominantly you'll be 19 reducing the amount of VOCs we have there. Many of 20 those companies are already alcohol-free, so there's 21 going to be very little gain by going alcohol-free. 22 We would assume, in our calculations, 23 we're talking about 180 tons reduction of VOCs in a 24 year. That's less than one ton per day. The question 2 5 we ask as an industry: Is this a significant amount, 7

### 1 especially as we calculate a cost of $10,000 per ton of
2 

## vocs. 3 Consequently, we would like to recommend 4 to the TCEQ they would further study and analyze the 5 actual size of the inventory of commercial lithographic 6 printers in the DFW area and determine if implementing 7 the proposed rules, Ch. 115, will truly provide a 

## s significant reduction in emissions. 9 We feel that the data we've been operating 10 from over the years has changed dramatically, that the 11 industry has made a lot of impact as far as pro.cess 12 controls to reduce the emissions. And because the 13 industry has shifted from a very large and very 14 segmented industry to a much smaller industry, that the 15 actual impact is much smaller than anticipated. 16 

### So again, those are my comments. Thank 17 you. 18 MS. COOK: Thank you. Is that the same 19 as this? 20 MR. POLANCO: Same thing. 21 MS. COOK: Okay. 22 Are there any other comments? 23 Okay. Once again, the deadline for 24 comment receipt is November 9, 2009. All comments 25 should reference the applicable rule or SIP project 89

### RESPONSE TOCOMMENTS SECTION Regardingthe 

### DALLAS-FORTWORTH (DFW)REASONABLE AVAILABLE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY (RACT)UPDATE, 30 TEXAS ADMINISTRATIVE CODE (TAC) CHAPTER 117 RULEREVISION NONINTERFERENCE DEMONSTRATION,AND MODIFIED FAILURE-TO-ATTAINCONTINGENCYPLAN STATEIMPLEMENTATIONPLAN (SIP) REVISION

The commtsston received comments from the following entities: Printing and Imaging Association ofMid-America (PIA MidAmerica); Printing Industries ofthe GulfCoast (PIGC); and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Comments received regarding the 30 TAC Chapter 115 Offset Lithographic Printing rule revisions (Rule Project no. 2008-019-115-EN) or the 30 TAC Chapter 117 Stationary Sources rule exemption revision (Rule Project no. 2009-023-117-EN),both ofwhich are incorporated by reference into this SIP revision, are addressed in the preambles to those rules. The comments received on the Chapter 115 and Chapter 117 rule revisions are included in this SIP revision through the adoption ofthose rules.


### Changesfrom Proposal Substantive changes were made to the Chapter 115 rule revision in response to comments received. Changes made tothat rule revision are noted in this SIP revision. No changes were made to the Chapter 117rule revision due to comment. Significantchanges were made to the volatile organic compounds (VOC) RACT update element ofthis SIPrevision as a result ofcomments and guidance received from theEPA. No changes were made to the Demonstration ofNoninterference from the Chapter 117 rule revision as a result ofcomments received. No changes were made to the Modified Failure-to-Attain Contingency Plan element ofthis SIP revision due to comment.


### Incorporationofthe Chapter 115 rule revision into the SIP
PIA MidAmericacommented thattheChapter 115 rule revision applicable to offset lithographic printing sources may have no significant impactonreducing emissions in the Dallas-FortWorth (DFW) area. PIGC commented that the printing industry is not a significant contributor to the overall airemissions in the DFW area. 

### The commission is aware that printing sources do not constitute a large proportion ofthe emissions in the DFW area. However, revisions to the Chapter 115 offset lithographic printingrules arenecessary tofulfill Federal CleanAirAct (FCAA) RACT requirements.

1

### In accordance with FCAA, §172(c)(1) and §182(b)(2), the state is required to revise the DFW SIP to include RACT determinations for VOC emission sources addressed in a control techniques guidelines (CTG) document issued between November 15, 1990, and the area's attainment date. On OctoberS, 2006, the EPA published a CTG document in lieu of national regulations for VOC emissions from Offset Lithographic Printing and Letterpress Printing (71 FR 58745). The purpose ofthe offset lithographic printing rule revision is toimplementRACT forthis CTGemission sourcecategory. No changes were made to this SIP revision due to these comments received from PIA MidAmericaand PIGC. The preambletotheChapter 115 rulerevision addresses changes madeto therule revision as a result ofcommentsreceived on thatrulerevision.
DFWVOCRACTUpdate 

### The EPA commented that the commission did not propose a RACT determination for the Industrial Cleaning Solvents CTG and Miscellaneous Industrial Adhesives CTG. The EPA further commented that in orderforthe DFW 1997 eight-hourozone nonattainment areato meet the requirements of40 Code ofFederal Regulations (CFR) §51.912, the commission will need to complete RACT determinations and take appropriate action for these CTG categories. The EPA indicated that its approval of the VOC RACT update would only be considered for thoroughly addressed CTG categories. As 

### noted in the EPA's comment, the commission did not make a determination whether the Industrial Cleaning Solvents and Miscellaneous Industrial Adhesives CTG recommendations represent RACT for Texas. The commission maintains the EPA substantially underestimated the scope and potential impact of these CTG recommendations, especially the impacts to small businesses. The commission is conducting research to determine the quantity ofaffected sources in the DFW 1997 eighthour ozone nonattainment area and plans to provide small business outreach to engage potentially impacted stakeholders. As 

### a result ofthe comments received by the EPA, the Executive Director will proceed with RACT analyses of these CTG documents and will initiate a future SIP revision and rulemaking for the commission's consideration, if necessary,to submitRACTdeterminations to theEPAin a timely manner. 

### The EPA commented that the commission did not propose any RACT determination for Large Appliance Coatings, Metal Furniture Coatings, and Miscellaneous Metal and Plastic Parts Coatings CTG. The EPA further commented that the commission needs to complete RACT determinations and take appropriate action for these three CTG categories in order for the DFW area to meet the requirements for RACT (40 CFR §51.912). The EPA indicated that approval for any RACT determinations contained in the VOC RACT update would only be 

### considered for CTG categories thoroughly addressed. The EPA recognized that it had not yet responded to the commission's request for clarification on potential backsliding issues regarding the CTG. The commission had previously requested clarification on implementing CTG recommendations for these specialty coatings that are less stringent than general-use coating RACT recommendations from the 1970s. The EPA comments identified options for moving forward with RACT analyses for these CTG categories, to: (1) 

### implement only CTGrecommended specialty coating content limits more stringent than existing state Jimits; or (2) relax existing coating content limits consistent with the later CTG recommendations and

2

### provide additional analyses demonstrating compliance with non-interference provisions under the Federal Clean AirAct, §II0(1). 

### As noted, the commission did not make RACT determinations for the Large Appliance Coatings, Metal Furniture Coatings, and Miscellaneous Metal and Plastic Parts Coatings CTG recommendations. As 

### discussed in Appendix A: 

### Dallas-Fort Worth Reasonably Available Control Technology Analysis Update, the CTG documents for these emission source categories did not contain sufficient information for the commission to determine RACT for Texas. OnDecember8, 2008, thecommission asked theEPAto clarifywhythe VOC content limits recommended for these categories are less stringent than previous EPA recommendations. While theEPA has notformally responded to theDecember2008 letter,thecommission appreciatestheEPA's suggestions regardingtheissues raised bythe commission. The commission intends to proceed with a RACT analysis of this CTG recommendation based on the guidance provided in the EPA's comments. As 

### a result of the comments received by the EPA, the Executive Director will proceed with RACT analyses of these three CTG documents based on the guidance provided in the EPA's comments and initiate a future SIP revision and rulemaking for the commission's consideration, if necessary, in order to submit RACT determinations to the EPA in a timely manner. The EPA commented that the commission needs to address the VOC RACT requirements for the Fiberglass Boat Manufacturing Materials CTG source category. The EPA disagreed with the commission's interpretation of its 1988 guidance for determining alternative applicability thresholds for RACT ("Issues Relating to VOC Regulation Cutpoints, Deficiencies, and Deviations, Clarification to Appendix D ofNovember 24, 1987 

### Federal Register" issued May 25, 1988) since the calculation was not specifically based on emission sources in the DFW area. The EPA further commented that the Fiberglass Boat Manufacturing Materials CTGrecommended controls that are cost-effective, and RACT for this emission source category shouldbe addressed. 

### The 2008 Fiberglass Boat Manufacturing Materials CTG document did not identify any sourcesin Texasthatwould besubjecttothe CTG-recommended controls. However,as of the September 23, 2009, agenda for proposal of this SIP revision, the commission could not make a definitive negative declaration for this source category. Since that time the commission has conducted extensive additional review of sources identified in the point source emissions inventory, Title V permits, and central registry databases. No sources meeting the applicability criteria recommended in the CTG document were identified in theDFW area. Therefore, the commission provides a negative declaration for this emission sourcecategorywith regard to RACTfortheDFWarea. The EPA commented that RACT for Automobile and Light-Duty Truck Assembly Coatings should be federally enforceable. The EPA requested additional information to explain how the use ofpermit conditions is reasonable to implement RACT and requested a copy ofthe final permit(s) used in this analysis, including permit information for General Motors Corporation Arlington Assembly Plant. The EPA further commented that work practice requirements for Automobile and Light-Duty Truck Assembly Coatings provide reasonable, cost-effective controls and are an important way to reduce emissions. The EPA stated that in order to meet RACT requirements, the commission should either adopt rules implementing the work practice requirements or provide analyses demonstrating that the requirements are satisfied by existing**ru~**

### Because oftbe comments received by the EPA, the commission has decided to reevaluate the RACT determination for the Automobile and Light-Duty Truck Assembly Coatings CTG recommendations. Tbe Executive Director will proceed with the RACT analysis of this CTG document and initiate a future SIP revision and rulemaking for the commission's consideration as appropriate, if necessary, in order to submit a RACT determination to tbe EPA in a timely manner. As a result, the commission has not included copies oftbe requested permitinformation atthis time. The EPA commented that RACT for Flexible Packaging Printing Materials should be federally enforceable. The EPA also requested additional explanation as to why it is reasonable to use permit conditions to implement RACT and requested a copy ofthe final permit(s) used in this analysis, including permit information for Printpak Incorporated. The EPA further commented that work practice requirements for Flexible Packaging Printing Materials provide reasonable, cost-effective controls and are an important way to reduce emissions.

The EPA requested additional explanation as to why it is reasonable to use permit conditions to implement RACT and requested a copy ofthe final permit(s) used in this analysis, including permit information for Rock Tenn Converting Company and Printpak Incorporated. The EPA commented that work practice requirements for Paper, Film, and Foil Coatings provide reasonable, cost effective controls and are an important way to reduce emissions.

As 

### a result, thecommission has not included copies ofthe requested permit information atthis time. The EPA commented that RACT for heatset offset lithographic printing presses should be federally enforceable. The EPA requested additional explanation as to why it is reasonable to use permit conditions to implement RACT and requested a copy ofthe final permit(s) used in this RACT analysis. The EPA requested copies ofthe documentation used to determine that all heatset offset lithographic presses in the DFW area meet RACT including copies offacilityspecific information for each heatset press identified with uncontrolled emissions greater than 25 tons peryear (tpy) located on a site with total emissions less than 50 tpy when uncontrolled,

### copies of the final permit(s) used in this analysis, and copies of any other applicable documentation. The overall VOC control level in the adopted Chapter 115, SubchapterE,Division 4 rules is equivalent to or more stringent than the EPA's 2006 Offset Lithographic and Letterpress Printing CTG recommendations and sufficient to fulfill RACT for offset lithographic printing operations in the DFW area. The commission must balance implementing the 2006 CTG recommendations with the potential for backsliding, enforceability considerations, and the possible impacts to sources that have already complied withtheexisting rules. Thecommission notes that in several instances theadopted Chapter 115 contentlimits are more stringent than EPA's 2006 CTG recommendations. The 2006 CTG recommendations include limiting the VOC content of cleaning solutions used in offset lithographic printing operations to 70 percent VOC by weight in conjunction with work practice standards. The adopted Chapter 115 rules retain the more stringent cleaning solution content limit of 70 percent VOC by volume in conjunction with work practice standards. Assuming theVOC in the cleaning solvent used is kerosene, which is theVOC referenced in the 2006 CTG, the adopted Chapter 115 contentlimit of70 percentVOC by volume for cleaning solutions is 

### equivalentto 66 percentVOC byweight. TheEPA's 2006 CTG also recommends limiting the fountain solution content to 5 percent alcohol substitutes orless by weight and no alcohol in the fountain solution. To prevent potential backsliding for sources already required to comply with these state regulations, the adopted Chapter 115 rules retain the more stringent fountain solution content limit of3 percentalcohol substitutesorless byweight and no alcohol in thefountain solution. The adopted Chapter 115 rules for heatset offset lithographic presses are at least as stringent as the EPA's 2006 CTG-recommended controls. The EPA's CTG recommends an add-on air pollution control device be required on each individual heatset offset lithographic presswith the uncontrolled potentialto emit25 tpyofVOC ormorefrom the dryer. Therules in Chapter 115, SubchapterE,Division 4, require control devices, with a control efficiency of at least 90 percent, to be installed on heatset offset lithographic presses on a property in the DFW areawith total uncontrolled VOC emissions ofat least 50 tpy, which includes VOC emissions from ink oils evaporated by the press dryer and VOC in fountain and cleaning solutions. In Table 5-1: 

### Model Plant Product Use and Baseline (Uncontrolled) Volatile Organic Compounds (Average Tons Per Year), ofthe 1993 draft Offset Lithographic Printing CTG, the EPA estimates that 26 percent ofthe total uncontrolled VOC emissions from heatset offset lithographic printing operations are emitted from thepress dryer. Based on theEPA's assumption, an individual heatsetpress located on a property with total uncontrolled VOC emissions of 50 tpy would emit less than 13 tpyofVOC from the pressdryer. Therefore,the Chapter 115 rules areeffectively more stringent than the EPA's 2006 CTG RACT recommendations with regard to the applicability threshold for this control requirement. Additionally, the EPA's 2006 CTG recommended exemptingheatset pressesused for bookprinting and heatset presseswith a maximum web width of22 inches or Jess from the add-on control device requirements. The existing Chapter 115 regulations do not exempt these sources from the control requirements,and thecommission has not adoptedtheseexemptions into therevised rule. The EPA's CTG recommends requiring control equipment first installed before the effective date ofrules implementing the CTG to have an overall control efficiency of90 percentand control equipmentfirst installed aftertheeffective dateofrules implementing



### 5

### the CTG to have an overall control efficiency of95 percent. The commission disagrees with the EPA's CTG recommendation to tie control device efficiency requirements with the first installation date of the control device regardless of where the equipment is installed. Thecommission contendsimposingthis policy may encouragetheinstallation of older,less efficient equipmentbecause facilities purchasing used equipmentwould be held to a less stringent standard. The policy could also create significant practical enforceability issues for commission investigators with regard to verifying the first installation dateofthecontrolequipment. Regardless ofthe first installation date ofthe device, the EPA recommends providing the alternativeoption to reducethecontrol device outlet concentration to 20 parts per million by volume (ppmv) as hexane on a dry basis to accommodate situations where the inlet VOC concentration is 

### too low to demonstratethe 90 or95 percent control efficiency. The Chapter 115 rules provide affected owners or operators of a heatset offset lithographic printing press the option to operate a control device to reduce VOC emissions from the press dryerexhaust vent by 90 percent by weight or maintain a maximum dryer exhaust outletVOC concentration of20 ppmv. TheChapter 115 alternative concentration limit is 

### substantially preferablebecauseitencouragesVOCemission reductionswithout requiring add-on controls and implementing the EPA's recommended approach would penalize operations that were able to achieve the 20 ppmv limit without the installation of expensive add-on controldevices. Based on this analysis, thecommission determined that the adopted Chapter 115 rules for offset lithographic printingoperations provideanoverallVOCcontrol level that is atleast equivalent to the 2006 CTG recommendations and are more effective and enforceable. Therefore, the revised Chapter 115, SubchapterE,Division 4 rules are sufficient to fulfill RACT foroffset lithographic printingoperations intheDFWarea. 

### The EPA disagreed with the statement in the preamble to the offset lithographic printing rule revision that the commission does not agree that applying RACT standards to future equipment installations is necessary to meet the mandates ofthe Federal Clean Air Act (FCAA) under §172(c)(l) and §182(bX2) and (f). 

### The EPA stated that RACT should apply to both existing and new sources. The EPA added that such statements may have implications for RACT approvability and requested the commission remove this language as well as any similar statements included elsewhere in therevisions. The commission bas removed this statement from the preamble to the offset lithographic printing rulerevision (2008-019-115-EN). 

### The EPA commented that work practice requirements for cleaning solutions used in offset lithographic printing operations provide reasonable, cost-effective controls and are an important way to reduce emissions. The EPA stated that in order to meet· RACT requirements, the commission should either adopt rules implementing the work practice requirements or provide analyses demonstratingthat therequirements are satisfied by existingrules. The EPA's 2006 Offset Lithographic and Letterpress Printing CTG recommends mandating a towel handling program in conjunction with reduced VOC cleaning solution limits. Existing Chapter 115 rules include these work practice requirements for facilities choosing the 70 percent VOC cleaning solution limit; however, these work practice requirements were not proposed with cleaning solutions containing VOC vapor pressure less than 10 millimeters ofmercury, because the commission expected most facilities were

### voluntarily following -similar practices for safety reasons or have required work practices as partoftheirpermitauthorization. However, in responseto comments received regarding the offset lithographicprinting rule revisions, the commission is revising the rule to include the CTG-recommended work practice requirements for offset lithographic printing operations using cleaning solutions with VOCvaporpressureless than 10 millimeters ofmercury. Demonstration ofNoninterference (§1100> 

### demonstration) The EPA commented that to be able to approve expansion ofan existing exemption clause in a SIP revision, it mustbe shown thatthe rule revision will comply with §110(1) ofthe FCAA and has properly accounted for the corresponding SIP credit changes. The EPA agreed with the state's calculations showing that estimated surplus emission reductions from fleet turnover sufficiently substitute for the shortfall left by the Chapter 117 rule revision and adequately demonstrate noninterference withattainment ofthe 1997 eight-hourozone standard. 

### The commission appreciates the EPA's agreement with the state's calculations showing the substitution ofthe vehicle fleet turnover reductions to replace the shortfall caused by the Chapter 117

### demonstration ofnoninterference. Modified Failure-to-Attain ContingencyPlan
The EPA commented that Table 4.2: 

### Calculations Showing 3 PercentRequiredReductions, of the proposed DFW RACT, Rule and Contingency SIP revision includes reference to a 1999 adjustedbase-year emissions inventory (EQ; however, the numbers shown are the same as those used in the federally approved 2007 DFW Attainment Demonstration SIP Revision (Appendix B), which does not characterize the 1999 emissions inventory as being an adjusted inventory. The EPA requested clarification ofwhether the EI used to calculate the contingency reductions is adjusted ornot. 

### Theproposed SIP revision incorrectly identified the base-yearemissions inventory used to calculatecontingency reductions as an adjusted base-yearinventory. All references in this SIP revision to the inventory used for contingency plan reduction requirement calculations have been corrected to more accurately reflect the unadjusted emission inventory used, and tbe word "adjusted" have been removed in those instances. The commission appreciates the EPA pointing out this needed correction. Tbe modified failure-to-attain contingency plan provides the required 3 percentcontingency reduction. Comments from the EPAnoted thatthe offset lithographic printing rule and the associated 0.24 tons per day predicted in emission reductions for VOC are removed as a contingency measure. The EPA agreed with the state's calculations that estimated surplus emission reductions from fleet turnover sufficiently substitute for the shortfall left by removal ofthe offset lithographic printing measure. 

### Tbe commission appreciates tbe EPA's agreement with the state's calculations and the substitution of the vehicle fleet turnover reductions for the removal of the offset lithographicprintingmeasurein the modified failure-to-attain contingency plan.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) Update, 30 Texas Administrative Code (T AC) Chapter 117 Rule Revision Noninterference Demonstration, and Modified Failure-to-Attain Contingency Plan State Implementation Plan (SIP) Revision (DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision) revises the State of Texas Air Quality Implementation Plan for the Control of Ozone Air Pollution. The SIP revision incorporates several actions adopted by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), and supplements the attainment demonstration for the 1997 eight-hour ozone standard for the DFW 1997 eight-hour ozone standard nonattainment area (Dallas, Denton, Tarrant, Collin, Parker, Johnson, Ellis, Kaufman, andRockwall Counties). The DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision includes RACT determinations for certain volatile organic compounds (VOC) emission sources in the DFW area, as required by the 1990 Federal Clean Air Act (FCAA) Amendments under §172(c)(l) and §182(b)(2) and (f). The VOC RACT update was developed to address the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issuance of 11 control techniques guidelines (CTG) documents between 2006 and 2008. Two adopted state rule revisions are incorporated into the SIP, one ofwhich is a 30TAC Chapter 115 rule revision for offset lithographic printing emission sources that was adopted concurrently with the SIP revision. The revised Chapter 115 rule resulted from the state's analysis ofthe CTG document for that emission source category and a subsequent RACT determination for offset lithographic printing emission sources. Also incorporated into the SIP revision is a 30 TAC Chapter 117 rule revision adopted by the commission on January 13, 2010. That rule revision, which resulted from the commission's approval of a rulemaking petition filed by the Elk Corporation, exempts from Chapter 117 regulation low temperature drying and curing ovens used in mineral wool-type fiberglass manufacturing and wet-laid, non-woven fiber mat manufacturing where nitrogen-containing resins or other similaradditives are used. The DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision demonstrates that the revised Chapter 117 rule does not interfere with the DFW area's attainment demonstration for the 1997 eight-hour ozone standard. This demonstration is accomplished by offsetting a small potential emission reduction loss to the Chapter 117 control strategy that could result from the rule revision. This SIP revision allocates surplus nitrogen oxides (NOx) emission reductions from vehicle fleet turnover to occurbetween 2009 and 2010 to the control strategy to replace any loss ofreductions resulting from the Chapter 117 rule revision. Replacing the control strategy emission reductions serves to maintain the integrity ofthe attainment demonstration and demonstrates that the revised Chapter 117 rule does not interfere with attainment ofthe 1997 eight-hour ozone standard in the DFW area. As a fmal action, the DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision modifies the contingency plan for the DFW 1997 eight-hour ozone standard attainment demonstration. An earlier version of the Chapter 115 rule for offset lithographic printing sources was identified as a measure in previous failure-to-attain contingency plans for the DFW area. However, the measure is not contained in the modified plan because the Chapter 115 offset lithographic printing source rule as revised is no longer eligible for contingency use. Themodifiedplan allocates a portion ofsurplus emission reductions that will result from vehicle fleet turnover to offset removal of the offset lithographic measure from the contingency plan. Themodifiedplanprovides emission reductions sufficient to meet the Federal Clean Air Act (FCAA) contingency requirement for a 3 percent reduction to the 1999 base year emissions inventory used for development of the attainment

demonstration. A portion of surplus fleet turnover enuss10ns reductions were previously allocated to the contingency plan; however, this revision allocates a greater portion of those reductions for contingency, to offset contingency reductions lost with removal of the offset lithographic printing rule measure. Because replacement reductions are identified, the contingency plan modification does not adversely affect the DFW area's demonstration of attainment for the 1997 eight-hour ozone standard. The modified contingency plan retains two previously identified state Chapter 115 VOC rules applicable in Collin, Dallas, Denton, and Tarrant Counties for degassing or cleaning processes ofstationary, marine, and transport vessels, and petroleum-based dry cleaning as contingency measures in addition to the vehicle fleet turnoveremission reductions committed for contingency.

SECTION V: LEGAL AUTHORITY
A. General The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has the legal authority to implement, maintain, and enforce the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) and to control the quality ofthe state's air, including maintaining adequate visibility. The first air pollution control act, known as the Clean Air Act ofTexas, was passed by the Texas Legislature in 1965. In 1967, the Clean Air Act of Texas was superseded by a more comprehensive statute, the Texas Clean Air Act (TCAA), found in Article 4477-5, Vernon's Texas Civil Statutes. The legislature amended the TCAA in 1969, 1971, 1973, 1979, 1985, 1987, 1989, 1991, 1993, 1995, 1997, 1999,2001,2003,2005,2007, and 2009. In 1989, the TCAA was codified as Chapter 382 ofthe Texas Health & Safety Code. Originally, the TCAA stated that the Texas Air Control Board (TACB) is the state air pollution control agency and is principal authority in the state on matters relating to the quality of air resources. In 1991, the legislature abolished the TACB effective September I, 1993, and its powers, duties, responsibilities, and functions were transferred to the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC). With the creation ofthe TNRCC, the authority over air quality is found in both the Texas Water Code and the TCAA. Specifically, the authority ofthe TNRCC is found in Chapters 5 and 7. Chapter 5, Subchapters A - F, H- J, and L, include the general provisions, organization, and general powers and duties of the TNRCC, and the responsibilities and authority ofthe executive director. This chapter also authorizes the TNRCC to implement action when emergency conditions arise, and to conduct hearings. Chapter 7 gives the TNRCC enforcement authority. In 200I, the 77th Texas Legislature continued the existence of the TNRCC until September I, 2013, and changed the name of the TNRCC to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). In 2009, the 81 81 Texas Legislature, during a special session, amended section 5.014 ofthe Texas Water Code, changing the expiration date of the TCEQ to September I, 2011, unless continued in existence by the Texas Sunset Act. The TCAA specifically authorizes the TCEQ to establish the level ofquality to be maintained in the state's air and to control the quality ofthe state's air by preparing and developing a general, comprehensive plan. The TCAA, Subchapters A - D, also authorize the TCEQ to collect information to enable the commission to develop an inventory ofemissions; to conduct research and investigations; to enter property and examine records; to prescribe monitoring requirements; to institute enforcement proceedings; to enter into contracts and execute instruments; to formulate rules; to issue orders taking into consideration factors bearing upon health, welfare, social and economic factors, and practicability and reasonableness; to conduct hearings; to establish air quality control regions; to encourage cooperation with citizens' groups and other agencies and political subdivisions ofthe state as well as with industries and the federal government; and to establish and operate a system ofpermits for construction ormodification offacilities. Local government authority is found in Subchapter E ofthe TCAA. Local governments have the same power as the TCEQ to enter property and make inspections. They also may make recommendations to the commission concerning any action of the TCEQ that affects their territorialjurisdiction, may bring enforcement actions, and may execute cooperative agreements with the TCEQ or other local governments. In addition, a city or town may enact and enforce ordinances for the control and abatement ofair pollution not inconsistent with the provisions of the TCAA and the rules ororders ofthe commission.

Adopted March l0, 20l0 vDFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision
Subchapters G and H of the TCAA authorize the TCEQ to establish vehicle inspection and maintenance programs in certain areas of the state, consistent with the requirements of the Federal Clean Air Act; coordinate with federal, state, and local transportation planning agencies to develop and implement transportation programs and measures necessary to attain and maintain the NAAQS; establish gasoline volatility and low emission diesel standards; and fund and authorize participating counties to implement vehicle repair assistance, retrofit, and accelerated vehicle retirement programs.

CHAPTER 1. BACKGROUND AND INTRODUCTION
1.1. GENERAL The "History ofthe Texas State Implementation Plan (SIP)," a comprehensive overview ofSIP revisions submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) by the State of Texas, is accessible from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality's (TCEQ) Web Site, at http://www.tceg.state.tx.us/assets/public/implementationlair/sip/miscdocs/SIPHistory updated.pdf. The Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) Ozone Nonattainment Area Attainment Demonstration (AD) SIP Revision for the 1997 Eight-Hour Ozone Standard, also called the DFW 1997 Eight-Hour Ozone AD SIP orMay 2007 DFW AD SIP, was adopted by the TCEQ and submitted to the EPA in May 2007. The DFW 1997 eight-hour ozone nonattainment area includes Collin, Dallas, Denton, Ellis, Johnson, Kaufman, Parker, Rockwall, andTarrant Counties. 1.1.1. Background During the EPA's review of the DFW 1997 Eight-Hour Ozone AD SIP Revision submittal, a March 7. 2008. letter from the EPA to the TCEQ requested clarification and additional information applicable to the DFW 1997 Eight-Hour Ozone AD SIP Revision. A TCEQ letter to the EPA ofApril 23, 2008, (referred to as the April 2008 Supplement to the DFW 1997 EightHour Ozone AD SIP Revision) provided the EPA with additional information to clarify and support the submittal. Upon review of the April 2008 Supplement to the DFW 1997 Eight-Hour Ozone AD SIP Revision, the EPA requested thatthe TCEQ implement an enforceable mechanism to limit the use of Discrete Emission Reduction Credits (DERCs) in the nine-county DFW eight-hour ozone nonattainment area, consistent with attainment and maintenance of the 1997 eight-hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). The EPA asked the state to revise the DFW 1997 Eight-Hour Ozone AD SIP Revision to provide additional emissions reductions sufficient to meet contingency plan mandates ofthe Federal Clean Air Act (FCAA) and to implement a rule limiting DERC use in the DFW area. In June 2008, the TCEQ informed the EPA ofits intention to propose a revised contingency plan as well as DERC SIP and rule revisions to satisfy the EPA requests. The following month (July 2008) the EPA proposed a conditional approval of the DFW 1997 Eight-Hour Ozone AD SIP Revision. The DFW AD SIP Contingency Plan Revision, adopted by the commission and submitted to the EPA in November 2008, revised the contingency plan for the DFW 1997 eighthour ozone standard attainment demonstration. The revised plan identified four measures to provide reductions in the event offailure to meetthe June 15, 2010, deadline for attainment ofthe 1997 eight-hour ozone standard for the DFW area. Three previously identified volatile organic compounds (VOC) rule contingency measures (applicable to offset lithographic printing, petroleum-based dry cleaning, and degassing or cleaning processes of stationary, m!lrine, and transport vessels), along with an allocation of a portion of the surplus emission reductions to result from 2009 through 2010 vehicle fleet turnover, completed the revised failure-to-attain contingency plan. Effective February 13, 2009, the EPA published a fmal conditional approval of the DFW nonattainment area's 1997 eight-hour ozone attainment demonstration, as submitted in the May 2007 DFW AD SIP Revision and April 2008 Supplement, and as revised in the DFW AD SIP Contingency Plan Revision. The published notice deemed the failure-to-attain contingency plan

Adopted March l0, 20l0 l-lDFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision

and the VOC reasonably available control technology (RACT) analysis elements of the attainment demonstration to be adequate and both were given final approval by the EPA. A final full approval ofthe attainment demonstration was withheld by the EPA, pending approval ofSIP and rule revisions needed to provide an enforceable mechanism to limit DERC use in the DFW area consistent with the 1997 eight-hour ozone attainment demonstration. The DFW AD SIP DERC ProgramRevision was adopted by the commission and submitted to the EPA in December 2008. That SIP revision and the corresponding DERC rule revision addressed the EPA's requirement for final approval of the DFW attainment demonstration by limiting DERC use in the DFW area consistent with attainment ofthe 1997 eight-hour ozone standard. The DERC rule in 30 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) Chapter 101 was revised to include requirements for the review and determination of annual DERC use limitations and apportionments for DERC use within the nine-county DFW area. At the time of the commission's adoption ofthis DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision, the DFW AD SIP DERC Program Revision and the Chapter 101 DERC rule revision had not yet been acted upon by the EPA. 1.1.2. Current SIP Action This DFW RACT Update, 30 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) Chapter 117 Rule Revision Noninterference Demonstration, and Modified Failure-to-Attain Contingency Plan SIP Revision (DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision) revises the DFW 1997 eight-hour ozone attainment demonstration, and as a result, the Texas Air Quality Implementation Plan for the Control ofOzone Air Pollution. Several actions required by the FCAA are finalized in this SIP revision, including: (1) an update to DFW VOC RACT analysis determinations; (2) incorporation ofadopted 30 TAC Chapter 115 and 30 TAC Chapter 117 rule revisions into the Texas SIP; (3) demonstration that the Chapter 117 rule revision will not interfere with attainment ofthe 1997 eight-hour ozone standard in the DFW area; and (4) modification ofthe contingency plan for the DFW 1997 eight-hour ozone attainment demonstration. Additional information about each of these SIP actions is provided in Chapter4: RequiredControlStrategyElements ofthis document. This SIP revision updates the VOC RACT determination element of the DFW attainment demonstration by including analyses ofcontrol techniques guidelines (CTG) documents issued by the EPA in 2006, 2007, and 2008, as required by the FCAA. Documentation of the state's determinations regarding those CTG recommendations is provided in Chapter 4, Required Control Strategy Elements, of this SIP revision and in Appendix A: Dallas-Fort Worth ReasonablyAvailable Control TechnologyAnalysis**Up~ate.** A concurrently adopted 30 TAC Chapter 115 rule revision is incorporated into the Texas SIP via this DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision. The Chapter 115 rule was revised based on new VOC RACT determinations made for the DFW area for offset lithographic and letterpress printing sources, based on CTG recommendations issued by the EPA in 2006 for those sources. The adopted rule revision (TCEQ Rule Project 2008-019-115-EN) implements the CTG recommendation to reduce the VOC content in fountain and cleaning solutions used by offset lithographic printing operations. Applicability ofthe rule to smaller sources previously exempt is also expanded by the rule revision. Additional information concerning RACT determinations for heatset press and letterpress printing sources is provided in Chapter4: Required Control Strategy Elements and in Appendix A: Dallas-Fort Worth Reasonably Available Control Technology Analysis Update.

AdoptedMarch l0, 20l0 l-2DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision

This SIP revision also incorporates a 30 TAC Chapter 117 rule revision that was adopted by the commission on January 13, 2010. The Chapter 117 rule was revised in response to a rulemaking petition filed by the Elk Corporation ofTexas that was approved by the commission on January 28, 2009. The rule revision exempts from Chapter 117 regulation low temperature drying and curing ovens used in mineral wool-type fiberglass manufacturing and wet-laid, non-woven fiber mat manufacturing where nitrogen-containing resins orother additives are used. The Chapter 117 rule exemption creates a potential nitrogen oxides (NOx) emission reduction loss to the DFW area ozone control strategy ofup to 0.1 tons per day (tpd) from Chapter 117 control measures included in the DFW 1997 Eight-Hour Ozone AD SIP Revision. To offset the potential loss ofthis NOx reduction that could result from the new exemption, this DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision allocates to the DFW control strategy a replacement 0.1 tpd NOx reduction out ofsurplus emission reductions to result from turnoverofthe vehicle fleet from 2009 to 2010 in the DFW area. This action maintains integrity of the DFW 1997 eight-hour ozone attainment demonstration, and provides the required demonstration of noninterference from Chapter 117 rule revisions. Prior to this SIP revision, the DFW failure-to-attain contingency plan identified three state VOC rule contingency measures along with an allocation from surplus fleet turnover emission reductions. The VOC rule measures were Chapter 115 rules applicable to (I) offset lithographic printing, (2) petroleum-based dry cleaning, and (3) degassing or cleaning processes ofstationary, marine, andtransport vessels. Because the offset lithographicprintingrule was revised for RACT purposes in this SIP revision, it may no longer be used as a contingency measure. This DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision modifies the DFW 1997 eight-hour ozone standard failure-to-attain contingency plan to no longer contain the offset lithographic printing measure. The modified plan retains the two state VOC rules applicable to petroleum-based dry cleaning and degassing or cleaning processes of stationary, marine, and transport vessels, along with the fleet turnover emission reductions previously allocated for contingency purposes. The modified plan also contains an additional allocation ofthe surplus emission reductions predicted to result from vehicle fleet turnover for the one-year period beginning June 15, 2009. The additional reductions are allocated for contingency purposes to offset and replace reductions removed from the plan with removal ofthe offset lithographic printing rule measure. The modified failure-toattain contingency plan provides the required 3 percent reduction to the attainment demonstration's 1999 base year emissions inventory with the reductions from the two remaining state VOC rule contingency measures together with the revised fleet turnover reduction allocations for contingency. Surplus fleet turnover emission reduction allocations are provided in Table 4.3: Allocation of Surplus Emissions Reductionsfrom 2009 through 2010 Fleet Turnover. After surplus fleet turnover emission reductions are allocated to offset the possible 0.1 tpd NOx emission increase from Chapter 117 rule exemption expansion as well as the offset lithographic printing rule contingency measure reductions, a 7.42 tpd NOx emission reduction from 2009 through 2010 vehicle fleet turnover remains surplus and available for future SIP purposes. Additional information is provided in Chapter4: RequiredControlStrategyElements. There are no outstanding SIP requirements for the DFW area under the one-hour ozone NAAQS. A fmal rule published in the Federal Register by the EPA on October 16, 2008, (73 FR 61357) describes an EPA determination, effective November 17, 2008, that the DFW one-hour ozone nonattainment area (Collin, Dallas, Denton, and Tarrant Counties) has attained the one-hour ozone standard. The EPA based this determination upon its review of certified ambient air monitoring data showing attainment ofthe one-hour ozone NAAQS for the 2004 through 2006
Adopted March 10, 2010 1-3DFWRACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision period. The one-hour ozone standard attainment determination was further supported by EPA review of quality-controlled, quality-assured ozone data for 2007 and 2008. The EPA determination also provided that due to the area's one-hour ozone standard attainment, all requirements to submit any demonstration ofattainment, 5 Percent Increment ofProgress (lOP) plan, reasonable further progress (RFP) plan, contingency plan, or other planning SIP revisions related to attainment of the one-hour ozone NAAQS, are suspended for as long as the area continues to attain that standard. 1.2. HEALTH EFFECTS In 1997, the EPA revised the NAAQS for ozone from a one-hour to an eight-hour standard. To support the 1997 eight-hour ozone standard, the EPA provided information indicating that health effects can occur at levels lowerthan the previous standard and at exposure times longer than one hour. Exposure to ambient ozone can aggravate asthma in some people. Repeated exposures to ozone can make people more susceptible to respiratory infection and lung inflammation and can aggravate preexisting respiratory diseases, such as. bronchitis and emphysema. Children are at a relatively higher risk from exposure to ozone when compared to adults, since they breathe more air per pound ofbody weight than adults and because children's respiratory systems are still developing. Children also spend a considerable amount oftime outdoors during summer and during the start ofthe school year (August

- October) when high ozone levels are typically recorded. Adults most at risk to ozone exposure are people working or exercising outdoors and individuals with preexistingrespiratory diseases. 1.3. PUBLIC/STAKEHOLDERPARTICIPATION The commission held two public hearings to receive oral comments on the proposal ofthis SIP revision, as follows.

4.2.1.1. Background The Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) eight-hour ozone nonattainment area is currently classified moderate nonattainment for the 1997 eight-hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). Under the standard, the DFW area is required to meet the mandates ofthe Federal Clean Air Act (FCAA) under §172(c)(l) and §l82(b)(2) and (f). According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Final Rule to Implement the 1997 eight-hour ozone NAAQS (40 CFR §51.912), states containing areas classified as moderate nonattainment or higher must submit state implementation plan (SIP) revisions demonstrating that their current rules fulfill the reasonable available control technology (RACT) requirements for all control techniques guidelines (CTG) categories and all non-CTG major sources ofnitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOC). The EPA previously approved the VOC RACT analysis submitted in the DFW 1997 Eight-Hour Ozone Attainment Demonstration (AD) SIP Revision (74 FR 1903; January 14, 2009). The analysis demonstrated that all CTG emission source categories addressed by CTG documents issued prior to 2006 and all major VOC emission sources in the DFW area were subject to rules in 30 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) Chapter 115 orother federally enforceable measures that meet or exceed applicable RACT requirements, or that further emission controls were not technologically or economically feasible. However, the EPA-approved 2007 VOC RACT analysis did not address 11 CTG documents issued between 2006 and 2008 containing recommendations for VOC controls on a variety of consumer and commercial products. Information regarding TCEQ's RACT determinations for these 11 CTG documents is provided in Appendix A: 

### Dallas-Fort Worth Reasonably Available Control Technology Analysis Update. Concurrent with this SIP revision, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) adopted revisions to 30 TAC Chapter 115, SubchapterE, Division4 to implement the EPA's 2006 Offset Lithographic and Letterpress Printing CTG recommendations that represent RACT in the DFW area (TCEQ Rule Project 2008-019-115-EN). 4.2.1.2. 30 TAC Chapter 115 VOC Rule Revision (Rule project 2008-019-115-EN) The TCEQ has adopted revisions to 30 TAC Chapter 115, Subchapter E, Division4 to implement the EPA's 2006 Offset Lithographic and Letterpress Printing CTG recommendations that represent RACT in the DFW area concurrent with this SIP revision. The adopted Chapter 115 rulemaking reduces the VOC content ofthe fountain solutions and cleaning solutions used by offset lithographic printing operations and expands rule applicability to include smaller offset lithographic printing sources that were previously exempt from theserules. Additional information on the offset lithographic printing rule revision is contained in the preamble for TCEQ Rule project 2008-019-115-EN. Additional information on the RACT

AdoptedMarch 10, 2010 4-1DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision
analysis ofthe 2006 Offset Lithographic and Letterpress Printing CTG can be found in Appendix A: DFWReasonablyAvailable Control TechnologyAnalysis Update. Because the commission revised Chapter 115 rules to include RACT requirements for offset lithographic printing sources, the state VOC rule for those sources is no longer available for use as a measure in the contingency plan for the DFW 1997 eight-hour ozone attainment demonstration. Therefore, the offset lithographic printing rule is no longer identified as a measure in the modified failure-to-attain contingency plan adopted within this DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision. To maintain integrity ofthe attainment demonstration, this SIP revision allocates emission reductions from fleet turnover to replace the contingency reduction removed with the offset lithographic printing rule measure, as more specifically described in Section 4.6: ContingencyMeasures, ofthis SIP revision. 4.2.2. NOx ControlMeasures 4.2.2.1. Major Source NOxReductions Industrial, Commercial, andInstitutional (ICI) Sources On December 11, 2008, a petition for rulemaking requesting an amendment to Chapter 117, Subchapter B, Division 4, for certain DFW area sources, was filed with the commission. The petition (TCEQ Rule Project No. 2009-012-PET-NR), submitted by Brown McCarroll, L.L.P., on behalf of Elk Corporation ofTexas, requested that the agency initiate rulemaking to revise 30 TAC Chapter 117, Subchapter B, §117.403(a)(l2). The request related to owners and operators oflow-temperature drying and curing ovens used in mineral wool-type fiberglass manufacturing and wet-laid, non-woven fiber mat manufacturing located at major sources in the DFW 1997 eight-hour ozone nonattainment area. Source categories affected by the petitioners request are currently required to comply with Chapter 117 rule requirements by March 1, 2010. Elk Corporation ofTexas operates an asphalt shingle manufacturing plant in Ennis, Texas. In the petitioner's manufacturing process, a urea-formaldehyde resin binder is used with othernitrogencontaining compounds on a fiberglass substrate that is then passed through a drying and curing oven. This operation results in nitrogen-containing off-gas that is vented through incinerators and reacts with oxygen to form NOx. The petitioner asserts that emissions associated with the manufacturing process alone makes compliance with the applicable NOx emission specification in §l17.410(b) of 0.036 pounds per million British thermal unit (lb/MMBtu) infeasible. On January 28, 2009, the commission considered and approved the petition for rulemaking. The commission issued an order on February 2, 2009, directing the executive director to examine the issues in the petition and to initiate rulemaking. 30 TAC Chapter l17Rule revision (Rule Project2009-023-l17-EN) On January 13, 2010, the TCEQ adopted an amendment to Chapter 117, Subchapter B, Division 4, §117.403 to implement the stationary source rule changes requested by Elk Corporation of Texas for the DFW 1997 eight-hour ozone nonattainment area. The rule revision expands an exemption to§117.403(a)(12) to include low-temperature drying ovens and curing ovens used in wet-laid, non-woven fiber mat manufacturing, as well as in low-temperature drying ovens used in mineral wool-type fiberglass manufacturing where nitrogen-containing resins or other additives are used. The rule revision became effective on February 4, 2010. This DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision incorporates a revised §117.403 into the Texas SIP. In 2006, during Chapter 117 rulemaking development for the DFW 1997 eight-hour ozone nonattainment area, comments were received from Owens Coming pointing out technical
AdoptedMarch I0, 2010 4-2DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision feasibility issues with controlling NOx emissions from curing ovens ofthis specific operation. In response to those comments, a provision was added under §117.403(a)(12) to exempt curing ovens used in mineral wool-type fiberglass manufacturing in which nitrogen-bound chemical additives are used. While the type ofmanufacturing covered by the rule is different from that specified in the current rule exemption, the technical feasibility issue for Elk Corporation of Texas is similar to the Owens Coming issue and is the basis of the current exemption in §117.403(a)(l2). The addition ofnitrogen-bound chemical additives contributes to the creation of non-combustion related thermal NOx that cannot be controlled using control methodologies identified by the commission as appropriate for curing ovens used in mineral wool-type fiberglass manufacturing. NOx emissions from curing ovens ofthis type are small contributors to the total NOx emissions. Due to the expanded exemption from the Chapter 117 rule revision, up to 0.1 tons perday (tpd) of anticipated NOx emission reduction previously anticipated to support the DFW 1997 eight-hour ozone attainment demonstration will no longer be available. Therefore, a demonstration of noninterference submittal to the EPA is required under the FCAA §110(1). Demonstration of Noninterference underFCAA §110(/) The estimated 0.1 tpd NOx emission increase and potential loss to the DFW control strategy that could result from the Chapter 117 rule exemption expansion is insignificant and does not interfere with the DFW 1997 ozone attainment demonstration. However, the TCEQ provides this demonstration ofnoninterference to support the state's assertion that expansion ofthe exemption in§117.403(a)(l2) does not negatively impact the status ofthe area's attainment ofthe NAAQS. The EPA issued draft guidance on June 8, 2005, titled "Demonstrating Noninterference under Section 110(1) ofthe Clean Air Act When Revising a State Implementation Plan." The guidance provides options available for states to demonstrate noninterference in nonattainment areas for affected pollutants. One option for demonstrating noninterference is through the substitution of measures that provide equivalent or greater emissions reduction/air quality benefits than the measure(s) being removed from the SIP. This SIP revision replaces the potential 0.1 tpd NOx control strategy reduction loss from the expanded §117.403 exemption with an equal 0.1 tpd NOx allotment from surplus vehicle fleet turnover emission reductions predicted to occur in the one-year period beginning June 15, 2009. Allocating 0.1 tpd NOx reduction from fleet turnover surplus emissions ensures that adoption of the Chapter 117 rulemaking associated with this DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision will not interfere with the DFW 1997 eight-hour ozone attainment demonstration. 4.2.2.2.- 4.2.2.4.

4.3. REASONABLY AVAILABLE CONTROLTECHNOLOGY (RACT)ANALYSIS 4.3.1. DFWVOCRACT Analysis Update The DFW eight-hour ozone nonattainment area is currently classified moderate nonattainment for the 1997 eight-hour ozone NAAQS. Under the 1997 eight-hour ozone standard, the DFW area is required to meet the mandates ofthe FCAA under §172(c)(l) and §182(b)(2) and (f). According to the EPA's Final Rule to Implement the 1997 eight-hour ozone NAAQS (40 CFR §51.912), states containing areas classified as moderate nonattainment orhigher must submit a SIP revision

Adopted March I0, 20I0 4-3DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision
demonstrating that their current rules fulfill the RACT requirements for all CTG categories and all non-CTG major sources ofNOxand VOC. In the September 17, 1979, issue ofthe Federal Register (44 FR 53762) RACT is defmed as the lowest emissions limitation that a particular source is capable ofmeeting by the application of control technology that is reasonably available considering technological and economic feasibility. RACT requirements for nonattainment areas classified as moderate and higher are included in the FCAA to assure that significant source categories at major sources of ozone precursor emissions are controlled to a reasonable extent, but not necessarily to best available control technology levels expected ofnew sources or to maximum achievable control technology levels required for major sources ofhazardous airpollutants. Advancing attainment ofthe area is not a factor ofconsideration when evaluating RACT because the benefit ofimplementing RACT is presumed under the FCAA. The EPA previously approved the VOC RACT analysis as submitted in the May 2007 DFW Eight-HourOzone AttainmentDemonstration SIP Revision (74 FR 1903; January 14, 2009). The analysis demonstrated all CTG emission source categories addressed by CTG documents issued prior to 2006 and all major VOC emission sources in the DFW area were subject to rules in 30 TAC Chapter 115, or other federally enforceable measures, that meet or exceed the applicable RACT requirements, or that further emission controls on the sources were either not technologically oreconomically feasible. However, the EPA-approved 2007 VOC RACT analysis did not address 11 CTG documents issued between 2006 and 2008 with recommendations for VOC controls on a variety ofconsumer and commercial products. Some ofthe new CTG recommendations are updates to previously issued CTG documents and some are recommendations for new emission source categories. This RACT analysis update addresses the evaluation ofthese 11 new CTG documents to determine if additional VOC controls are necessary to fulfill RACT requirements for the DFW area. The following is a list ofthe CTG documents:

• Flat WoodPaneling Coatings, GroupIIIssued in 2006 • FlexiblePackagingPrintingMaterials, Group IIIssued in 2006 • Industrial CleaningSolvents, GroupIIIssued in 2006 • OffsetLithographicandLetterpressPrinting, GroupIIIssuedin 2006 • LargeAppliance Coatings, GroupIIIIssued in 2007 • MetalFurniture Coatings, GroupIIIIssued in 2007 • Paper, Film, andFoil Coatings, GroupIllIssued in 2007 • Auto andLight-Duty TruckAssembly Coatings, GroupIVIssuedin 2008 • Fiberglass BoatManufacturingMaterials, GroupIVIssued in 2008 • Miscellaneous IndustrialAdhesives, GroupIVIssued in 2008 • Miscellaneous Metal andPlasticParts Coatings, GroupIVIssued in 2008 A brief summary of the TCEQ's RACT determinations regarding these 11 CTG documents follows. Additional details regarding the evaluation ofthe 11 CTG documents are provided in Appendix A: Dallas-Fort Worth ReasonablyAvailable Control TechnologyAnalysis Update.

Adopted March 10,2010 4-4DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision

4.3.1.1. CTG Documents Not Awlicableto the DFW Area The TCEQ provides a negative declaration for the Flat Wood Paneling Coatings CTG and the Fiberglass Boat Manufacturing CTG. The TCEQ determined that no sources meeting the applicability criteria recommended in these CTG documents are located in the DFW area. 4.3.1.2. CTG Documents for which RACT Determinations are NotBeing Made The TCEQ is not making a determination at this time of whether the recommendations in the following eight CTG documents represent RACT for Texas: Industrial Cleaning Solvents, Miscellaneous Industrial Adhesives, Large Appliance Coatings, Metal Furniture Coatings, Miscellaneous Metal and Plastic Parts Coatings, Flexible Packaging Printing Materials, Automobile and Light-Duty TruckAssembly Coatings, and Paper, Film, and Foil Coatings. The TCEQ's initial assessment ofIndustrial Cleaning Solvents and the Miscellaneous Industrial Adhesives CTG documents indicates that the EPA substantially underestimated the scope and potential impact ofimplementing the CTG recommendations, as they would have widespread and potentially adverse impacts to small businesses and micro-businesses. The TCEQ will continue to evaluate these CTG documents and will provide small business outreach to engage potentially impacted stakeholders. Research to determine the quantity of sources affected by the recommendations has been initiated. The Executive Director will proceed with RACT analyses of these CTGs and will initiate a future SIP revision and rulemaking for the commission's consideration, if necessary, in order to submit RACT determinations to the EPA in a timely manner. By letter dated December 8, 2008, the TCEQ requested clarification from the EPA regarding several issues related to recommendations in the CTG documents for Large Appliance Coatings, Metal Furniture Coatings, and Miscellaneous Metal and Plastic Parts Coatings. A number ofthe VOC content limits recommended for specific coatings categories are less stringent than the more general VOC content limits specified in the EPA's original CTG recommendations. The TCEQ requested clarification to assure that implementation ofthe new recommendations would not be backsliding and to be certain that the TCEQ has appropriate information to determine ifthe CTG recommendations actually represent RACT for Texas. As ofthe September 23, 2009, TCEQ's agenda for proposal ofthis SIP revision, the EPA had not formally responded to the request for clarification; therefore, the TCEQ did not propose RACT determinations for these CTG document categories. However, in comments submitted for this SIP revision, the EPA provided suggestions and guidance regarding the issues raised by the TCEQ in the December 2008 letter. The Executive Director will proceed with RACT analyses ofthese three CTG documents based on guidance provided in the EPA's comments and will initiate a future SIP revision and rulemaking for the commission's consideration, if necessary, in order to submit RACT determinations to the EPA in a timely manner. At the September 23, 2009, agenda for proposal ofthis SIP revision, the TCEQ determined that emission sources affected by recommendations in the Flexible Packaging Printing Materials, Automobile and Light-Duty Truck Assembly Coatings, and Paper, Film, and Foil CTG documents have enforceable permit limitations in place that restrict VOC emissions to levels consistent with the recommendations and that additional controls were not necessary. However, in response to the EPA's comments on this SIP revision, the TCEQ has decided to reevaluate these CTGs for RACT determination. The Executive Director will proceed with these analyses and will initiate a future SIP revision and rulemaking for the commission's consideration, if necessary, in order to submit RACT determinations to the EPA in a timely manner.

Adopted March 10,2010 4-5DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision

4.3.1.3. CTGDocuments that RepresentRACT for the DFW Area Concurrent with this SIP revision, the TCEQ adopted revisions to 30 TAC Chapter 115, Subchapter E, Division 4 to implement the EPA's 2006 Offset Lithographic and Letterpress Printing CTG recommendations that represent RACT in the DFW area (TCEQ Rule Project 2008-019-115-EN). The adopted Chapter 115 rulemaking reduces the VOC content of the fountain solutions and cleaning solutions used by offset lithographic printing operations and expands the rule applicability to include smaller offset lithographic printing sources that were previously exempt from these rules. The overall VOC control level in the adopted Chapter 115 rules is equivalent to or more stringent than the EPA's 2006 CTGrecommendations and sufficient to fulfill RACT for offset lithographic printing operations in theDFW area. 4.4.

- 4.5. (Norevision) 4.6. CONTINGENCYMEASURES 4.6.1. Background FCAA (42 USC §7502(c)(9) and §75lla(c)(9)) and the EPA's final Phase 2 1997 eight-hour ozone implementation rule require that the SIPs for all 1997 eight-hour ozone nonattainment areas include contingency measures as additional controls needed to further reduce emissions in the event an area fails to attain by its attainment date. The FCAA requires that states with ozone nonattainment areas classified as moderate and above include contingency measures in their SIP (sections 172(c)(9) and 182(c)(9)). Per the FCAA, the failure-to-attain contingency plan must identify control measures sufficient to secure an additional 3 percent reduction (from the base year emissions inventory used for development of the attainment demonstration) in ozone precursor emissions should a moderate nonattainment area fail to attain the 1997 eight-hour ozone NAAQS by the June 15, 2010, required attainment date. The May 2007 DFW AD SIP Revision, Appendix B: Emissions Inventory Development identifies 520.08 tpd of VOC and 754.56 tpd ofNOx in the 1999 base year emissions inventory from all anthropogenic sources in the DFW nine-county nonattainment area. As part ofits January 14 2009, final conditional approval ofthe DFW 1997 Eight-Hour Ozone AD SIP Revision, as supplemented and revised (74 FR 1903), the EPA deemed the failure-toattain contingency plan (as submitted in the May 2007 DFW AD SIP Revision, supplemented in April 2008, and revised in the November 2008 DFW AD SIP Contingency Plan Revision) to be complete and fully approved. That contingency plan identified emissions reductions from three state VOC rules along with emission reductions from the 2009 through 20I0 mobile source fleet turnover as the contingency measures. At the time these VOC rules were identified for the DFW 1997 eight-hour ozone failure-to-attain contingency plan, they were not required to meet VOC RACT requirements. The three rules, applicable to (1) Offset Lithographic Printing, as in 30 TAC § 115.449(c); (2) Degassing or Cleaning ofStationary, Marine, and Transport Vessels, as in 30 TAC §115.549(b); and (3) Petroleum Dry Cleaning, as in 30 TAC §115.559(a), were determined to provide a cumulative 1.80 tpd VOC emission reduction from sources in Collin, Dallas, Denton, and Tarrant Counties. Surplus emission reductions predicted to result from the fleet turnover to occur over a one-yearperiodbeginningJune 15, 2009, were identified to provide the remainder ofemission reductions needed for the 3 percent contingency requirement. The turnover of the on-road fleet of cars and trucks will result in additional VOC and NOx emission benefits in 2009 and beyond because newer vehicles have significantly lower emission standards than vehicles they are replacing. New vehicle emission standards are lower primarily

due to a number offederal rules such as the Tier2 standards for automobiles and light trucks, and the 2007 heavy-duty diesel standards for large diesel highway trucks. Emission reductions predicted to occurfrom the fleet turnoverduring the one-yearperiod beginning June 15, 2009, are estimated to total4.86 tpd VOC and 20.78 tpd NOx. 4.6.2. Modified DFW 1997 Eight-Hour Ozone Failure-to-Attain ContingencyPlan This DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision revises the contingency plan for the DFW 1997 eight-hourozone attainment demonstration. Removal ofthe contingency measure for offset lithographic printing and a modification of the allotment of fleet turnover reductions dedicated to the failure-to-attain contingency plan are both included in this SIP revision. This DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision dedicates 13.36 tpd of the NOx emission reductions, and 4.86 tpd ofthe VOC emission reductions predicted from the June 2009 through 20I0 fleet turnover to provide reductions for the contingency plan. Due to the associated Chapter 115 rule applicable to the same sources, the offset lithographic printing rule contingency measure (and the associated 0.24 tpd predicted VOC reduction) is being removed as a contingency measure. However, the two other state VOC rules identified in the SIP revision will remain as contingency measures. Those two VOC rule contingency measures provide controls applicable to the degassing or cleaning process of stationary, marine, and transport vessels, and to petroleum-based dry cleaning. The three contingency measures identified in Table 4.1: Emission Reductions Provided by Modified Failure-to-Attain Contingency Plan, and further described below, are measures identified for the DFW 1997 eight-hour ozone failure-to-attain contingency plan, for implementation inthe event the contingency plan is triggered. I. A VOC reduction of0.18 tpd will be made through controls on the degassing orcleaning process of stationary, marine, and transport vessels. All affected persons in Collin, Dallas, Denton, and Tarrant Counties must be in compliance with 30 TAC, Chapter 115, Subchapter F. Division 3 (relating to Degassing or Cleaning of Stationarv. Marine, and Transport Vessels) as soon as practicable, but no later than one year, after notification is published in the Texas Register ofthe commission's determination that this contingency rule is necessary as a result of failure to attain the 1997 NAAQS for ozone by the attainment deadline as set forth in the 1990 Amendments to the FCAA, § 172(c)(9). The commission will submit notification to the Texas Register for publication within 60 days after the EPA notifies the state ofits failure through publication ofa fmal action in the FederalRegister. 2. A VOC reduction of 1.38 tpd will be made through controls on petroleum-based dry cleaning businesses. All affected petroleum solvent dry cleaning facilities in Collin, Dallas, Denton, and Tarrant Counties must be in compliance with 30 TAC, Chapter 115, Subchapter F. Division 4 (relating to Petroleum Drv Cleaning Systems) as soon as practicable, but no laterthan one year, after notification is published in the Texas Register ofthe commission's determination that this contingency rule is necessary as a result of failure to attain the 1997 NAAQS for ozone by the attainment deadline as set forth in the 1990 Amendments to FCAA, §172(c)(9). The commission will submit notification to the Texas Registerfor publication within 60 days afterthe EPA notifies the state ofits failure through publication ofa final action in theFederalRegister.

DALLAS-FORTWORTH REASONABLYAVAILABLE CONTROLTECHNOLOGYANALYSIS UPDATE



### 1.0. Introduction The Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) eight-hour ozone nonattainment area (Dallas, Denton, Collin, Tarrant, Parker, Johnson, Ellis, Kaufman, and Rockwall Counties) is currently classified moderate nonattainment for the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 1997 eight-hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). Under the 1997 eight-hour ozone standard, the area is required to meet the mandates ofthe Federal Clean Air Act (FCAA) under §§172(c)(1), 182(b)(2) and 182(f). According to the EPA's Final Rule to Implement the Eight-Hour Ozone NAAQS (40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) §51.912, November 29, 2005), states containing areas classified as moderate nonattainment orhigher must submit a state implementation plan (SIP) revision demonstrating that their current rules fulfill the reasonably available control technology (RACT) requirements for all control technique guidelines (CTG) categories and all non-CTG major sources of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOC). RACT is defined as the lowest emissions limitation that a particular source is capable ofmeeting by the application of control technology that is reasonably available considering technological and economic feasibility (44 FR 53762; September 17, 1979). RACT requirements for moderate and higher classification nonattainment areas are included in the FCAA to assure that significant source categories at major sources ofozone precursor emissions are controlled to a reasonable extent, but not necessarily to best available control technology levels expected ofnew sources or to maximum achievable control technology levels required for major sources ofhazardous air pollutants. Advancing attainment ofthe area is not a factor of consideration when evaluating RACT because the benefit ofimplementing RACT is presumed underthe FCAA. The EPA previously approved the VOC RACT analysis as submitted in the May 2007 DFW Eight-Hour Ozone Attainment Demonstration SIP Revision (74 FR 1903; January 14, 2009). The analysis demonstrated all CTG emission source categories addressed by CTG documents issued prior to 2006 and all major VOC emission sources in the DFW area were subject to rules in 30 TAC Chapter 115, or other federally enforceable measures, that meet or exceed the applicable RACT requirements, or that further emission controls on the sources were either not technologically oreconomically feasible. However, the EPA-approved 2007 VOC RACT analysis did not address 11 CTG documents issued between 2006 and 2008 withrecommendations for VOC controls on a variety ofconsumer and commercial products. Some ofthe new CTG recommendations are updates to previously issued CTG documents and some are recommendations for new emission source categories. This RACT analysis update addresses the evaluation ofthese 11 new CTG documents to determine if additional VOC controls are necessary to fulfill RACT requirements for the DFW area.

Adopted March I0, 20I0 A-3DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision

The following is a list ofthe CTG documents:

2.0. RACT Evaluation Approach 2.1. General Discussion The TCEQ demonstrates that RACT requirements are fulfilled by: (l) identifying all CTG source categories ofVOC and NOx emissions and submitting negative declarations for categories where no major emission sources exist; (2) identifying all non-CTG major sources ofVOC and NOx emissions; (3) identifying the state regulation implementing or exceeding RACT for each applicable CTG source category ornon-CTG major emission source; and (4) describing the basis for conclusion that the regulations fulfill RACT. Specifically, this SIP revision updates the DFW VOC RACT analysis to address the 11 consumer and commercial products CTG documents issued by the EPA from 2006 through 2008. 2.2. Identification ofCTG Emission Source Categories The EPA has issued CTG documents defining RACT for existing facilities. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) reviewed the 11 consumer and commercial products CTG documents issued by the EPA from 2006 through 2008 to identify all source categories ofVOC emissions that require RACT. RACT determinations are not required ifthere are no facilities in the DFW area that are subject to the CTG document. A negative declaration is provided for source categories described within the EPA guidance documents that do not exist in the DFW area. 2.3. Determining ifState Regulations Fulfill RACT Requirements The EPA previously approved the DFW area VOC rules in 30 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) Chapter 115 as meeting FCAA RACT requirements for CTG documents issued prior to 2006. RACT determinations regarding the 11 CTG documents issued in 2006 and later were made by comparing the CTG recommendations to TCEQ rules to determine if the existing rules satisfy RACT. Although CTG documents provide the EPA's RACT recommendations for controlling emissions from specific sources, EPA guidance on RACT indicates that states can choose to implement the CTG recommendations, implement an alternative approach, or demonstrate that additional control for the CTG emission source category is not technologically or economically feasible in the area. Additional discussion regarding the evaluation ofthe CTG recommendations ' Adopted March 10,2010 A-4DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision

FlatWood Paneling Coatings No facilities meeting the applicability ofthe 2006 Flat Wood Paneling Coatings CTG document were identified in the DFW area. Therefore, the TCEQ provides a negative declaration for this source category with regard to RACT for the DFW area. The EPA indicated in Appendix B: State andLocalRegulationsfor Flat WoodPaneling ofthe Flat Wood Paneling Coatings CTG that two facilities in Texas ozone nonattainment areas are potentially subject to the recommendations. Based on a review of the 2005 point source emissions inventory, the TCEQ determined that only one facility in the DFW area, Buell Door Company, TCEQ Account Number DB-0128-U, may fit the source category description in the Flat Wood Paneling Coatings CTG. However, that facility ceased all operations in 2006 and to date has not reported any emissions for the site for subsequent years. The TCEQ does not expect that the company will resume business operations at this facility. 

### 3.1.2. Flexible Packaging PrintingMaterials Atthe September 23, 2009, agenda for proposal ofthis SIP revision, the TCEQ didnotpropose to revise the flexographic and rotogravure printing rules in 30 TAC Chapter 115, Subchapter E, Division 3 to implement the 2006 Flexible Packaging Printing Materials CTG recommendations. Flexible package printing sources in the DFW area affected by the CTG recommendations were determined to have enforceable permit limitations in place that restrict VOC emissions to levels consistent with the CTG recommendations. Therefore, the commission proposed that additional controls were not necessary for this CTG category. At the September 23, 2009, agenda for proposal ofthis SIP revision the commission proposed that additional controls were not necessary for this CTG category. Because ofEPA's comments on this SIP revision, the TCEQ has decided to reevaluate the RACT determination for the Flexible Packaging Printing Materials CTG recommendations. The Executive Director will proceed with the RACT analysis ofthis CTG document and initiate a future SIP revision and rulemaking for the commission's consideration, as appropriate, in order to submit a RACT determination to the EPA in a timely manner. 

### 3.1.3. Industrial Cleaning Solvents The TCEQ is not making a RACT determination at this time regarding the Industrial Cleaning Solvents CTG recommendations. The TCEQ's assessment indicates that the EPA substantially underestimated the scope and potential impact ofthe CTG recommendations. In Appendix D of the CTG document: Number of nonattainment facilities organized byState that are estimated to meetthe applicability criteria recommended in the CTG, the EPA estimated 92 facilities in Texas nonattainment areas would be subject to the recommendations. However, the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes provided in Appendix C ofthe CTG document: Adopted March I0, 20I0 A-5DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIPRevision
Summary of NAICS Codesfor nonattainment facilities estimatedto meet the applicability criteria recommended in the CTG suggests a much broader applicability. Based on the EPA's suggested exemption threshold of I5 pounds per day of VOC and the listed NAICS codes, the TCEQ estimates that implementing the CTG would have widespread and potentially adverse impacts to small business and micro-business in Texas. An integral part ofdetermining whether a control technology ormeasure represents RACT is evaluating the technological and economic feasibility of the proposed controls. Determining technological and economic feasibility is not possible when the applicability ofthe control measure is ambiguous. The TCEQ will continue to evaluate this CTG and intends to provide small business outreach to engage stakeholders that could be potentially impacted by the EPA's suggested control measures. The Executive Director will proceed with the RACT analysis ofthis CTG document and initiate a future SIP revision and rulemaking for the commission's consideration, if necessary, in order to submit a RACT determination to the EPA in a timely manner. 3.1.4. Offset Lithographic and Letterpress Printing Concurrent with this SIP revision, the TCEQ adopted revtstons to 30 TAC Chapter II5, Subchapter E, Division 4 to implement the EPA's 2006 Offset Lithographic and Letterpress PrintingCTG recommendations that represent RACT in the DFW area. The adopted Chapter II5 rulemaking reduces the VOC content of the fountain solutions and cleaning solutions used by offset lithographic printing operations, and expands rule applicability to include smaller offset lithographic printing sources that were previously exempt from these rules. The TCEQ determined that no letterpress printing operations meeting the applicability criteria recommended in the CTG document are located in the DFW area. Therefore, the TCEQ provides a negative declaration for the Letterpress Printing CTG source category. In its analysis of the EPA's 2006 Offset Lithographic and Letterpress Printing CTG recommendations, the TCEQ must balance the VOC control level in the adopted Chapter 115, Subchapter E, Division 4 rules and potential for backsliding from implementing the 2006 CTG recommendations, along with enforceability considerations, and possible impacts to sources that have already complied with the existing rules. In several instances the adopted Chapter II5 content limits are more stringent than EPA's 2006 CTG recommendations. The 2006 CTG recommends include limiting the VOC content of cleaning solutions used in offset lithographic printing operations to 70 percent VOC by weight in conjunction with work practice standards. The adopted Chapter 115 rules retain the more stringent cleaning solution content limit of70 percent VOC by volume in conjunction with work practice standards. Assuming the VOC in the cleaning solvent used is kerosene, the VOC referenced in the 2006 CTG, the adopted Chapter 115 content limit of70 percent VOC by volume for cleaning solutions is equivalent to 66 percent VOC by weight. EPA's 2006 CTG also recommends limiting the fountain solution content to 5 percent alcohol substitutes or less by weight and no alcohol in the fountain solution. To prevent potential backsliding for sources already required to comply with these state regulations, the adopted Chapter II5 rules retain the more stringent fountain solution content limit of3 percent alcohol substitutes or less by weight and no alcohol in the fountain solution. The adopted Chapter 115 rules for heatset offset lithographic presses are at least as stringent as the EPA's 2006 CTG recommended controls. The EPA's CTG recommends an add-on air pollution control device be required on each individual heatset offset lithographic press with the uncontrolled potential to emit 25 tons peryear (tpy) ofVOC ormore from the dryer. The rules in Chapter II5, Subchapter E, Division 4, require control devices, with a control efficiency of at Adopted March I0, 2010 A-6DFWRACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision

least 90 percent, to be installed on beatset offset lithographic presses on a property in the DFW area with total uncontrolled VOC emissions ofat least 50 tpy, which includes VOC emissions from ink oils evaporated by the press dryer and VOC in fountain and cleaning solutions. In Table Table 5-1: Model Plant Product Use andBaseline (Uncontrolled) Volatile Organic Compounds (Average Tons Per Year), ofthe 1993 draft Offset Lithographic Printing CTG, the EPA estimates that 26 percent ofthe total uncontrolled VOC emissions from beatset offset lithographic printing operations are emitted from the press dryer. Based on EPA's assumption, an individual heatset press located on a property with total uncontrolled VOC emissions of50 tpy would emit less than 13 tpy of VOC from the press dryer. Therefore, the Chapter 115 rules are effectively more stringent than the EPA's 2006 CTG RACT recommendations with regard to the applicability threshold for this control requirement. Additionally, the EPA's 2006 CTG recommended exempting heatset presses used for book printing and beatset presses with a maximum web width of 22 inches or less from the add-on control device requirements. The existing Chapter 115 regulations do not exempt these sources from the control requirements and the TCEQ bas not adopted these exemptions into the revised rule. The EPA's CTG recommends requiring control equipment first installed before the effective date ofrules implementing the CTG to have an overall control efficiency of 90 percent and control equipment first installed after the effective date ofrules implementing the CTG to have an overall control efficiency of95 percent. The TCEQ disagrees with the EPA's CTG recommendation to correlate control device efficiency requirements with the first installation date of the control device regardless ofwhere the equipment was installed. Imposing this policy may encourage the installation of older, less efficient equipment and may create potential backsliding issues. The policy may also create significant practical enforceability issues for TCEQ investigators with regard to verifying the first installation date ofthe control equipment. Regardless of the first installation date of the device, the EPA recommends providing the alternative option to reduce the control device outlet concentration to 20 parts per million by volume (ppmv) as hexane on a dry basis to accommodate situations where the inlet VOC concentration is too low to demonstrate the 90 or 95 percent control efficiency. The Chapter 115 rules provide affected owners or operators of a beatset offset lithographic printing press the option to operate a control device to reduce VOC emissions from the press dryer exhaust vent by 90 percent by weight or maintain a maximum dryer exhaust outlet VOC concentration of 20 ppmv. The Chapter 115 alternative concentration limit is substantially preferable because it encourages VOC emission reductions without requiring add-on controls and implementing the EPA's recommended approach would penalize operations who were able to achieve the 20 ppmv limit withoutthe installation ofexpensive add-on control devices. Based on this analysis, the TCEQ determined that the adopted Chapter 115 rules for offset lithographic printing operations provide an overall VOC control level that is at least equivalent to the 2006 CTG recommendations and are more effective and enforceable. Therefore, the revised Chapter 115, Subchapter E, Division 4 rules are sufficient to fulfill RACT for offset lithographic printing operations in the DFW area.

3.2. EPA Consumer and Commercial Products CTG Documents, Group III Issued in 2007 3.2.1. LargeAppliance Coatings By letter dated December 8, 2008, the TCEQ requested clarification from the EPA regarding several issues related to the Large Appliance Coatings CTG recommendations. Current TCEQ Adopted March 10, 2010 A-7DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision

rules in Chapter 115 for large appliance coating operations are based on the original Large Appliance Coatings CTG issued by the EPA in 1977. A number of the recommended VOC content limits for specific coatings categories listed in the 2007 CTG document are less stringent than the more general VOC content limits specified in the EPA's original CTG recommendations for the Large Appliance Coatings category. Since the 2007 Large Appliance Coatings CTG document does not specifically address this issue, the TCEQ requested clarification to ensure that implementing the CTG recommendations would not be considered backsliding and to be certain that the TCEQ has the appropriate information to determine whether the 2007 CTG recommendations actually represent RACT for Texas. See Attachment 1 for the TCEQ letter to the EPA requesting clarification on these issues. The EPA did not formally respond to the TCEQ's request for clarification on the CTG document. Therefore, the TCEQ did not propose a RACT determination for the Large Appliance Coatings CTG source category. However, in the comments submitted for this SIP revision, the EPA did provide suggestions and guidance regarding the issues raised by the TCEQ in the December 2008 letter. The Executive Director will proceed with the RACT analysis ofthis CTG document based on the guidance provided in the EPA's comments and initiate a future SIP revision and rulemaking for the commission's consideration, if necessary, in order to submit a RACT determination to the EPA in a timely manner. 3.2.2. Metal FurnitureCoatings In the previously mentioned letter to the EPA of December 8, 2008, the TCEQ requested clarification regarding several issues related to the Metal Furniture Coatings CTG recommendations. Current TCEQ rules in Chapter 115 for metal furniture coating operations are based on the original Metal Furniture Coatings CTG document issued by the EPA in 1977. A number ofthe VOC content limits for specific coatings categories recommended in the 2007 CTG document are less stringent than the more general VOC content limits specified in the original recommendations for the Metal Furniture Coatings category. Since the 2007 Metal Furniture Coatings CTG document does not specifically address this issue, the TCEQ requested clarification from the EPA to ensure that implementing the 2007 CTG recommendations would not be considered backsliding and to be certain that the TCEQ has the appropriate information to determine whether the 2007 CTG recommendations actually represent RACT for Texas. See Attachment 1for the TCEQ letter to the EPA requesting clarification on these issues. The EPA did not formally respond to the TCEQ's request for clarification on the CTG document. Therefore, the TCEQ did not propose a RACT determination for the Metal Furniture Coatings CTG source category. However, in the comments submitted for this SIP revision, the EPA did provide suggestions and guidance regarding the issues raised by the TCEQ in the December 2008 letter. The Executive Director will proceed with the RACT analysis ofthis CTG document based on the guidance provided in the EPA's comments and initiate a future SIP revision and rulemaking for the commission's consideration as appropriate, ifnecessary, in order to submit a RACT determination to the EPA in a timely manner. 3.2.3. Paper,Film, and Foil Coatings Atthe September23, 2009, agenda for proposal ofthis SIP revision, the TCEQ did not propose to revise the surface coating rules in 30 TAC Chapter 115, Subchapter E, Division 2 to implement the 2007 Paper, Film, and Foil Coatings CTG recommendations. Paper, film, and foil coating operations in the DFW area affected by the CTG recommendations were determined to have
Adopted March 10,2010 A-8 

# 'DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIPRevision

enforceable permit limitations in place that restrict VOC emissions to levels consistent with the CTG recommendations

.. Therefore, the commission proposed that additional controls were not necessary for this CTG category. However, in response to EPA's comments on this SIP revision, the TCEQ has decided to reevaluate the RACT determination for the Paper, Film, and Foil Coatings CTG recommendations. The Executive Director will proceed with the RACT analysis of this CTG document and initiate a future SIP revision and rulemaking for the commission's consideration as appropriate, in orderto submit a RACT determination to the EPA in a timely manner.

3.3. EPA Consumer and CommercialProductsCTGDocuments, Group IV Issued in 2008 3.3.1. Auto and Light-Duty TruckAssembly Coatings One site identified in the DFW area is subject to the Auto and Light-Duty Truck Assembly Coatings CTG document: General Motors Corporation's Arlington Assembly Plant, TCEQ Account Number TA-0157-1. On page 23 of the 2008 Automobile and Light-Duty Truck Assembly Coatings CTG, the EPA indicates that VOC emission reductions will not result from implementing the CTG recommendations because these facilities have previously reduced coating operation VOC emissions in compliance with 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 60, New Source Performance Standards (NSPS), Subpart MM, Automobile and Light-Duty Truck Surface Coating Operations; 40 CFR Part 63, National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPS), Subpart IIII, Surface Coating of Automobiles and Light-Duty Trucks; and existing state rules. At the September 23, 2009, agenda for proposal ofthis SIP revision the commission proposed that additional controls were not necessary for this CTG category. However, in response to EPA's comments on this SIP revision, the commission has decided to reevaluate the RACT determination for the Automobile and Light-Duty Truck Assembly Coatings CTG recommendations. The Executive Director will proceed with the RACT analysis of this CTG document and initiate a future SIP revision and rulemaking for the commission's consideration, if necessary, in orderto submit a RACT determination to the EPA in a timely manner. 3.3.2. Fiberglass BoatManufacturingMaterials The 2008 Fiberglass Boat Manufacturing Materials CTG document did not identify any sources in Texas that would be subject to the CTG recommended controls. However, as ofthe September 23, 2009, TCEQ's agenda for proposal ofthis SIP revision, the TCEQ could not make a definitive negative declaration for this source category. Since that time the TCEQ has conducted extensive additional review ofsources identified in the point source emissions inventory, Title V permits, and central registry databases. No facilities meeting the applicability ofthe 2008 Fiberglass Boat Manufacturing Materials CTG document were identified in the DFW area. Therefore, the TCEQ provides a negative declaration for this source category with regard to RACT for the DFW area. 3.3.3. MisceUaneous IndustrialAdhesives The TCEQ is not making a RACT determination at this time regarding the Miscellaneous Industrial Adhesives CTG recommendations. Similar to the Industrial Cleaning Solvents CTG, the TCEQ's initial assessment indicates that the EPA substantially underestimated the scope and potential impact ofthe Miscellaneous Industrial Adhesives CTG recommendations. An integral Adopted March I0, 20I0 A-9DFW RACT, Rule, and Contingency SIP Revision
part ofdetermining whether a control technology or measure represents RACT is evaluating the technological and economic feasibility ofthe proposed controls. Determining technological and economic feasibility is not possible when the applicability ofthe control measure is ambiguous. The TCEQ will continue to evaluate this CTG and intends to provide small business outreach to engage stakeholders that could be potentially impacted by the EPAs suggested control measures. The Executive Directorwill proceed with the RACT analysis ofthis CTG document and initiate a future SIP revision and rulemaking for the commission's consideration, ifnecessary, in order to submit a RACT determination to the EPA in a timely manner. 3.3.4. Miscellaneous Metal and Plastic PartsCoatings In the previously mentioned letter dated December 8, 2008, the TCEQ requested clarification from the EPA regarding several issues related to the Miscellaneous Metal and Plastic Parts Coatings CTG recommendations. The TCEQ rules in Chapter 115 for these coating operations are based on the original CTG recommendations issued by the EPA in 1978. Several of the recommended VOC content limits for specific coatings categories listed in the 2008 CTG are less stringent than the more general VOC content limits specified in the EPA's original CTG recommendations for these categories. Since the 2008 Miscellaneous Metal and Plastic Parts Coatings CTG document does not specifically address this issue, the TCEQ requested clarification to ensure that that implementing the 2008 CTG would not be considered backsliding and to be certain that the TCEQ has the appropriate information to appropriately determine whether the 2008 recommendations actually represent RACT for Texas. See Attachment 1 for the TCEQ letterto the EPA requesting clarification on these issues. The EPA did not formally respond to the TCEQ's request for clarification on these CTG documents as ofthe September 23, 2009, agenda; therefore, the TCEQ did not propose a RACT determination for the Miscellaneous Metal and Plastic Parts Coatings CTG source category. However, in the comments submitted for this SIP revision, the EPA did provide suggestions and guidance regarding the issues raised by the TCEQ in the December 2008 letter.
